As you read this chapter, you will build a model that shows Earths interior. Your Goal To build a three-dimensional model that shows Earths surface features, as well as a cutaway view of Earths interior Your model must ? be built to scale to show the layers of Earths interior ? include at least three of the plates that form Earths surface, as well as two landmasses or continents ? show how the plates push together, pull apart, or slide past each other and indicate their direction of movement ?follow the safety guidelines in Appendix A Plan It! Think about the materials you could use to make a three-dimensional model. How will you show what happens beneath the crust? As you learn about sea-floor spreading and plate tectonics, add the appropriate features to your model. 123 Section 1 Earths Interior Reading Preview Key Concepts ? How have geologists learned about Earths inner structure? ? What are the characteristics of Earths
