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 piece 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.
