Plate tectonics globe tennis ball activity

TLF ID A003998

This activity is designed to help students visualise plate boundaries on a spherical Earth, rather than on a flat map. The downloadable PDF includes a model to cut out that shows major plate boundaries, boundary types and highlights our own Indo-Australian plate. The activity includes assembly instructions and pieces to cut out and construct (tennis ball required).
