Plate tectonics

First step, read Undersea mountains march into the abyss; watch the video, and pick up what information you can about plate tectonics.

Look carefully at the map on this BBC page which shows you the plate margins. This will help answer one of the challenges: to describe the distribution of earthquakes, volcanoes, and fold mountains in relation to plate margins.

Useful site to find locations: Internet geography. Map to see worldwide distribution of plate boundaries, earthquakes and volcanoes here.
