Find the Prime Meridian
Label East & Western Hemispheres
Fold the right side of map to 1500 EAST
Fold left side on top (tri-fold)
Fold your map lengthwise
Go get 3 different color pencils
On the back of your map:
Transform Boundary
LEAVE BLANK
Divergent Boundary
Convergent Boundary

The land in
between the two
tectonic plates.

Valley on your
seafloor map.

Label the San
Andreas Fault on
your seafloor map.
Also, label the large transform
boundary that cuts across the East
Pacific Rise (Eltanin Fracture).
All these “strike-slip”
faults surrounding the
ridge are called the
“fracture zone”.
• Plates move laterally
past each other
• Many earthquakes
Label the San
Andreas Fault on
your seafloor map.
Also, label the large transform
boundary that cuts across the East
Pacific Rise (Eltanin Fracture).

• What’s happening to the plates?
• What features are formed?
• Examples:
Convergent Boundary
(oceanic/continental)
Include all three under
each diagram

Finally: In the blank spot on your map:
Draw and explain a
picture of the DRIVING
FORCE of plate
tectonics
