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.
