       Map the earthquakes above onto a map of the world. Earn more
       points by:
          1. Drawing and labeling plate boundaries and plates
          2. Identifying magnitude of quakes on map
          3. Write a short analysis of the earthquake activity world wide for
             the past week. Is there a part of the Earth that had more
             earthquakes? What trends/patterns do you see?

       Current Volcano Activity
       Go to this website http://www.volcano.si.edu/reports/usgs/index.cfm
       And map onto the world map the currently active volcanoes. As of
       12/16 there are 11 on the page. Map each one, then, in a short report
       discuss what kind of activity is being seen.
