Evidence of Plate Tectonics

Students have the opportunity to draw conclusions about plate tectonics and Earth history by examining diagrams in this engaging science worksheet! Geared toward middle school learners, this two-page worksheet begins with an introduction to plate tecntonics, introducing key terms such as "tectonic plates," "convergent boundary," and "divergent boundary." Learners will use the text and several diagrams to answer analysis questions that will require them to interpret pieces of evidence that support the theory of plate tectonics. For related practice, be sure to also check out the Tectonic Plate Boundaries worksheet!
