Plate boundary project
Instructions
• Today you will be making plans to make a power
point project over tectonic plate boundaries.
• You will need to include a title slide and a slide for
each boundary type.
Title slide = 10 points
Boundary 1 slide = 30 points
Boundary 2 slide = 30 points
Boundary 3 slide = 30 points for a total of 100
Boundary Slide Format:

Definition
Landforms made by the boundary
A description of what happens at this boundary
A picture of the boundary type
An example of a mountain, a volcanic eruption, or
an earthquake.
• A historical event that took place at this type of
boundary.
References
• You will need to include a slide for references.
• You need to show where you got the
information you put in your project.
• Pictures from the internet can be sited in your
references by copying and pasting the web
address.
Instructions continued…
• We will have one day to plan our projects out on
paper.
• The next class period we go to the computer lab
to put the project together.
• Use your time wisely, you will only have ONE day
in the computer lab to do this!
• Since your time is limited, please do your project
in black and white like this first and get all of your
information on it. You may change the font,
color, and background after you have completed
the required information.
Transform boundary
• Definition: when two plates slide
past each other
• Landforms at this boundary: fault
lines and oceanic fracture zones.
• Description: two tectonic plates
slide past each other in opposite
directions.
• Example: California's San Andreas
Fault
• Historical event: San Francisco
