This activity aims to describe the distribution of volcanoes, earthquakes, and major mountains and determine the scientific basis for dividing the lithospheric plates. Students will use maps showing earthquake and volcano locations and mountain ranges, as well as a map of relative plate motions, to mark the boundaries of plates on plastic sheets overlaid on the maps.
