Plate+Tectonics+Assigment

You will be assigned one of the following plate boundaries or hot spot. The first person ready to begin this project will get first choice of the boundaries.

Research the plate boundary and prepare a presentation using Google Earth. Your presentation will be 3-5 minutes long.

**The following will be included in your presentation and map**
Type of Boundary - This will also be drawn in the correct color on your map (converging = blue, diverging = red, transform = yellow, hotspot = purple) The direction of motion of the plates involved. Add arrows into your map to show this motion. Names of the plates associated with the boundary Describe the geologic activity associated with this boundary: volcanoes, earthquakes, geysers, etc, and explain the importance of this activity Types of volcanoes associated with this boundary Earthquake activity associated with this boundary Mountain ranges associated with this boundary Minimum of 5 pictures that are properly cited Minimum of 2 videos that are properly cited.

**DUE DATES**
Tuesday, August 25 - send me your Google Notebook page Wednesday, August 26 - send me your Google Map - I will send you a note on your progress Friday, August 28 - present your plate boundary in Google Earth
