Tectonic Boundary Zones
Instructions (revised):
Print out a map for this assignment so it will help you keep the answers straight.
For a map you may use either of these sources:
WORLD OUTLINE MAP
PDF WORLD MAP
Using an Atlas or some other source, find the locations/places listed below. Based on what is discussed on tectonics in the text, and the discussions and videos in class, and what you might find here: USGS, identify the tectonic activity associated with the places listed below. Here are some additional links to help you in this assignment: OCEANS ON LINE THE TECH PAGE EXTREME SCIENCE UCLA. Note that on a few of the place names I have linked some "sources" to help you find some of these locations....and other experience other things virtual.

List (type) the places below on a list separate from the map and place the correct letter associated with the correct type of boundary next to these places. (i.e. Java B)

Find the place on the map and place the name of the place at the location and the abbreviation for the plate boundary on the map. If you like you can use symbols for the boundary types on the map, just make sure that you have a key for the map. (symbols listed below are arbitrary) You may bring your map with the answers below to the final...But the final will not contain a map.

Letter Reference	Type of Boundary	Map Abbreviations
A	Plate Divergence	PD
B	Subduction (Plate Convergence)	SC
C	Collision (Plate Convergence)	CC
D	Lateral Movement	LM
E	Intra Plate Hot Spot	HS
