Lets Mark The Boundaries

Students will trace maps of earthquake epicenters, active volcanoes, and major mountain belts onto an overlay using different colored markers. They will observe where these features are located and determine the scientific basis for dividing the lithospheric plates based on the distributions. Materials needed include world maps, a thin paper or plastic overlay, and three different colored markers.

Let’s Mark the Boundaries

Name:_____________________________Section:_____________Date:_____________ Teacher’s Name: ____________________


Objectives:
• Describe the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts.
• Determine the scientific basis for dividing the Lithospheric plates.
Materials:
• Figure 1 to 3 (World Map) • 1 thin paper or plastic cover (whichever is available) • marking pens (three different colors)
Procedures:
1.Prepare the materials.
2.Place the plastic cover/thin paper on top of Map 1 and trace the earthquakes using green marker. Then using the same plastic cover/paper
place at the top of Map 2 and trace the volcanoes using red marker. And on top of Map 3 and trace the mountain ranges using black marker.
3. Obseve the markings, where the earthquakes, active volcanoes and mountain ranges are.
4. Answer the guide questions after the activity.
