In your notebook, you will discuss:
explain the differences between oceanic and continental crust (density, composition, temperature and thickness are ideas)
predict how changes in composition and temperature change crust density and buoyancy.
Draw a time series for different types of plate boundaries and their motions
Figure the type of plate boundary given images or descriptions of surface features.
Explain which types of plate boundaries create crust, and which destroy crust
