Describe 3 types of major plate boundaries. Use your hands to show the motions.
描述三种主要的板块边界类型。用你的手展示它们的运动。
Convergent = plates come together. uplift or subduction, form mountains and ocean trenches/volcanoes
Divergent = plates move away from each other. forms ocean ridges
transform = plates side against each other. creates earthquakes.

1st law: Energy cannot be destroyed or created. It can only change forms.
2nd law: When energy is transferred, some of it is lost as heat. Entropy always increases in the universe.
3rd law: entropy of a closed system at thermodynamic equilibrium approaches a constant value when its temperature approaches absolute zero. 0 Kelvin
