1. TDIT
2. World map of tectonic plates
3. Plates jigsaw
4. Annotate plate margin cross-sections (below) using NT p10/11 D, E, F
5. Add examples:
· Destructive (subduction) = Nazca moving under South American – Andes Mts
· Destructive (collision) = Indian towards Eurasian – Himalaya Mts
· Constructive = Eurasian & North American away from each other - Mid Atlantic Ridge/Iceland
· Conservative = Pacific & North American moving alongside each other – San Andreas Fault, California
