Dr. Sanders
By the end of today’s class, you should be able to do the
following:
* Review: List the two types of lithosphere (oceanic lithosphere
and continental
lithosphere) and describe how they differ in terms of their
thickness and density.
* Explain the patterns in the data we collected in class on
geologic features at the fourteen locations we studied in our last
class period.

* Describe, sketch a diagram of, and explain the geologic
features you would expect to find at each type of plate boundary.
(For convergent boundaries, consider all three possible combinations of
plate types!) Give a real-world example for each situation.
