‘‘Colliding Plates’’, Practical Activities (pg133)

1) Compare the above tests with plate tectonics.
The first test displays plates colliding with another plate which can be able to form mountains. The second test requires a faster plate to go under a slower plate. This action can form new islands. The third test presents a plate rushing towards the other plate and going over the plate causing it to scrape. This action can cause an earthquake to erupt.
 

 2) The stack of papers had obvious layers. Assess whether rock has layers, and if so explain why?.
A rock possibly does have layers for that it is created and transformed in a way. The rock had started off as sedimentary and then grew some layers and then finally had evolved into a full rock.

 3) State which test simulates the following collisions.
a. A continental plate with another continental plate – test 1
b. An oceanic plate with another oceanic plate – test 2
c. An oceanic plate with a continental plate – test 3
4) Identify a place on earth where each of these collision types occurs.
Himalayas, Indonesia, Asia

Conclusion
The hypothesis written was correct for that when the collision of plates occur there are always 3 collision forms. Firstly it is either two plates colliding head on forming mountains or whether it was plates going over or under each other.
