Plate Tectonics Mini-lab (2 grades) Get with a partner and take out a sheet of paper and a book. Fold, cut, and tape your sheet of paper to model each of the different kinds of plate boundaries. Label each geological feature. Color the paper to illustrate different levels of elevation. Red = high elevation. Yellow = medium elevation. Blue = low elevation. Look at a map of the world and note the position of mountains. What explains the location of mountain ranges?
