Plate Boundaries: Stop Motion Video

Objective:
Create original images to be used in a stop motion animation video that shows the progression of the
divergent and convergent plate boundaries.

Requirements:
● Videos should show the opening and closing of an ocean basin, beginning with a content opening to a mature
ocean, and closing to a regional mountain range (think Himalayas)
● Video must including the following events: Linear sea, continental rift, mid-ocean ridge, island arc subduction,
coastal volcano range subduction, and regional mountain building.
● Include the general direction of plate movement
● Include the development of magma, its composition, and when possible volcanoes can form.
● Indicate where rock is being formed and destroyed
