This Week in Science (five)

This week in science we talked a lot about plates and their movements.  We learned the terms Transform, when two plates slide along each other, Convergent, when a plate goes under another and melts, and Divergent, when two plates pull apart from each other and magma comes up to fill the gap.  we also learned a few other terms like Hotspot, where magma comes up to the earth's surface.  We learned these terms on a website with video representations of all of the different movements.
