Essential Question 2: What is the evidence of location and interaction of tectonic plates?
Enduring Understanding:
Google Earth Plate Tectonics Project: ___/28
Select one of the earth locations below, or suggest an alternative. Each group must have a different
place to research. Use Google Earth to explore this area.
 Iceland
 South America (Peru/Chili
 Japan
area)
 Africa (Eastern side)
 India (Northern region)
 Aleutian Islands
 Sumatra
 California (West coast)
 Mid Atlantic Ridge
