To depend our understanding of tectonic plates and their movement, we used crackers and whipped cream to represent the tectonic plates and molten lava. We had the opportunity to move the plates so that when they moved away from each other the lave (cream) was able to seep through. This is what would happen with a volcano. We then rubbed the plates (crackers) together which represents what happens during an earthquake. Finally, we used the cracker and rice cake to show what happens when 2 plates push together. This is when mountains would be formed.
