Name__________________________Period____ WEBQUEST: Plate Tectonics & Volcanoes Log onto http://www.glencoe.com/sec/science/cgi-bin/splitwindow.cgi?top=http://www.glencoe.com/sec/ science/top2.html&link=http://pubs.usgs.gov/publications/text/understanding.html to complete this worksheet. (This link can be accessed from the Earth Science page of my website.) Type The website contains information regarding each of the 3 types of plate boundaries we will be discussing in class. You will need to read the information to determine the definition and example locations. There are images for each of the three types, but there is also a link towards the top of the page that is titled Illustration of the Main Types of Plate Boundaries. This will show all of the boundary types on one picture. It is up to you to determine which one you would like to use. Description/Definition Example location Diagram Divergent Label with crust, lithosphere, magma, ridge Convergent Label with : ocean, mountain, trench, oceanic crust, continental crust, lithosphere & magma What is the ring of fire, and what causes it? Transform or Conservative Draw the San Andreas Fault. Label the North American Plate, the Pacific Plate, and add arrows showing the direction the two plates are moving. 478180858 -1- 6/28/17 PART 2: Follow this link for the SAVAGE EARTH: The Earth at Work WEBSITE: http://glencoe.com/sec/science/cgi-bin/splitwindow.cgi?top=http://www.glencoe.com/sec/science/ top2.html&link=http://www.pbs.org/wnet/savageearth/ Click on: Hell’s Crust: Our Everchanging Planet (along left) Sidebar Three “The Ring of Fire” (along top) Scroll down & click on picture of the “Ring of Fire” to enlarge it. Then complete the map as instructed below. 1. On the map at the bottom of this page, highlight or draw a colored line on the following map where the “Ring of Fire” is found. NOTE-check map carefully, the continents may not be in same place. Be sure you have line along correct side of each continent. 2. Use your textbook p 455 to do the following, or use the following link https://www3.awinfosys.com/practiceexam/shared/images/exm2008PracticeSC10SampleA_Media9_1. gif a. Draw the outlines of following plates on the map b. Label the plates with their names NOTE: map may have continents in different order or place. Pacific, North American, South American, Cocos, Nazca, Antarctic, Eurasian, Indo-Australian, Arabian, & African plates. 478180858 -2- 6/28/17 PART 3: Use the following website to look up specific volcanoes: http://volcano.si.edu/reports_weekly.cfm *****EACH VOLCANO SHOULD BE FROM A DIFFERENT CONTINENT or area of the earth. Click on the following in order: 1. “Reports” tab along the top 2. “Smithsonian USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report” 3. Select and click on a “red balloon”. The name of the volcano will pop up. Click on the Volcano Name. 4. Complete the info in the table below for the volcano. 5. Now select another “red balloon” and do the same. ****NOTE: Be sure to select your 4 volcanoes from DIFFERENT continents. 6. Mark the location & name of the volcano on the map on the previous page. NOTE – even though the website has a map of the location, be sure to check your latitude and longitude when mapping. Name of Volcano Date of Last Activity Popocatepetel 9/21/2003 Location Important/Interesting Facts Have you marked it on the map? (City & country, or latitude & longitude) Mexico 19 N 98.6 W Had at least 6 small to moderate eruptions in 2001. December 2000=largest eruption in 1000 years-required 50,000 to evacuate Name means “smoking mountain” Named by Aztecs Snow-capped stratovolcano 478180858 -3- 6/28/17 Yes
