Step 2
INTRODUCTION:
The data below represent worldwide earthquake and volcano locations given by their latitude and longitude. The goal of this investigation is to map the locations of these tectonic events to see what relationships can be deduced.
MATERIALS:
world map
colored pencils (2, Red & Green)
PROCEDURES:
Using an iPad, get a world map and two different color pencils, plot the location of each earthquake in one color and each volcano in the other color. See color directions below:

When you complete both plotting steps above, continue to these questions.
When finished with your plotting of BOTH the Earthquakes and Volcanoes, please use the LAPTOP and CLICK:

ANALYSIS:
1. Discuss the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes over the surface of the Earth. Are they scattered at random or are they concentrated in zones? Describe your observations.
2. Discuss the distribution earthquakes and volcanoes located in relation to the continents. Are they near the
middle of continents or....? Describe.
3. Using reference books or maps, draw the major crustal plates of the Earth on your world map. Label the names of the plates neatly. (reference Page 87 in your textbook or "blue Map" for your teacher)
4. Discuss the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes in relation to the crustal plates. Are they scattered all over the plates or is there a pattern? Describe. (reference Page 87 in your textbook or "blue Map" for your teacher)
5. Add arrows to your map showing the 3 different plate boundaries (you must include at least 3 of each and spread them out over the map, you may add more than three). (reference Page 87 in your textbook or "blue Map" for your teacher)
6. Is there a relationship between the direction of movement and distribution of earthquakes? volcanoes? both? neither? Describe and explain
