Oceanic to Oceanic Crust
1) Describe what occurred in this model.
the denser oceanic crust submerged under the other oceanic crust
2) What did each part of the model represent?
both pieces of foil represented oceanic crust

Continental to Continental Crust
1) Describe what occurred in this model.
When the continental crusts collided, they created an area of volcanic mountains
2) What did each part of the model represent?
both of the foil wraps represented continental crust.

Oceanic to Continental Crust
1) Describe what occurred in this model.
When the oceanic crust collided with the continental crust, the oceanic crust submerged and it created a trench.
2) What did each part of the model represent?
the oceanic crust was the flat piece of foil, and the continental crust was the bumpy piece of foil.
