Answer:

The Theory of Plate Tectonics is explored through the use of the Landform kit from the Utah Geological Survey. Students visualize the plates covering our earth by studying a map called the "Dynamic Planet". This map illustrates that earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building occurs predominantly at plate boundaries. By learning about the three types of plate boundaries, students model the four types of mountain building.
