Vocabulary List:
- Plate tectonics - Fault Line
- Divergent boundaries - Fault mountains
- Convergent boundaries - Convection current
- Transform boundaries - Crust
- Fold mountains - Mantle

Must include:
- Accurate explanation of plate movement
- Explain the time period in which the mountain was created.
- Accurately explanation of the formation of fold and fault mountains.
- Make a prediction about what the mountain will look like in the
future.

Example: Fold mountain (Himalayans)

Dear Mom (Indian Tectonic Plate) and Dad (Arabian Tectonic Plate)

Thank you for working so hard to create me. I realise how much force, pressure,
and time you must have put into converging. I am so happy that the convection
current in the mantle forced you together. I appreciate the time you have put into
folding and creating me over the last 40 to 50 million year. I know how time
consuming this can be and do not think this goes unnoticed. It is my prediction
that I will continue to grow older, taller, and wider with your support and
strength. As that has been the consistent pattern over the years.

With love,
Your Daughter the Himalayans AKA a fold mountain
