Go to http://ees.as.uky.edu/sites/default/files/elearning/module04swf.swf
Click on maps, boundaries and map legend. Color code each type of boundary on your map and then create a legend.
Then add volcanoes, earthquakes and hotspots to your map.
Click on Details. Go through each to answer the following questions:
1. Ocean-continent subduction: What is formed at the front of the subduction zone?
2. Continent-continent collision: What famous mountain was formed when India collided with Asia creating the
Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau?
3. Ocean-Ocean subduction: What is formed at the front of the subduction zone where the plate bends downward?
4. Continental Rift: What rises up beneath the continent, heats the crust which causes the faulting and breaking apart
of the crust?
5. Mid-Ocean Ridge: Where is the youngest part of the ocean floor found and where is the oldest part found?
6. Continental Transform: What are common along continental transforms?
7. Oceanic transform: Are transform vaults usually single faults or do they have several faults along the boundary?
8. Oceanic Hot Spots: What type of activity occurs when the hot rock flows into the lithosphere?
9. Continental Hot Spots: What is the name of the famous hot spot in Montana?
