Standard 3.1 Major geologic events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, mid-ocean ridges, and mountain formation are associated with plate boundaries and attributed to plate motions.
a. Gather, analyze and communicate data that explains Earth's plates, plate motions, and the results of plate motions.
b. Identify, interpret, and explain models of plates motions on Earth.
c. Us maps to locate likely geologic "hot spots", using evidence earthquakes and volcanic activity.
d. Use web-based or other technology tools to show connections and patterns in data about tectonic plate boundaries and earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formation.
