What are tectonic plates?

Today we are investigating tectonic plates. What are they?  "Chocolate Plates; simulating the properties of a lithospheric plate".


This ELI gives a simulation of the mechanical properties of a lithospheric plate using chocolate bars. It is always a very popular activity with students!

Many related plate tectonic activities can be found in our Plate tectonics category.
