    1) The document describes an activity to analyze maps of earthquake epicenters, volcanoes, and mountain ranges to understand the distribution of these features and the scientific basis for dividing the lithosphere into plates. 2) Students are instructed to trace earthquake clusters and volcano locations on transparency sheets and observe their relationship to each other and to mountain ranges. 3) Analyzing the maps helps students recognize that earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains are located near plate boundaries and relate their distribution to the theory of plate tectonics.

    Activity 2
    Let’s Mark the Boundaries
    Objectives:
    • Describe the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major
    mountain belts.
    • Determine the scientific basis for dividing the Lithospheric plates.
    Materials:
    • Figure 5: Map of earthquake distribution
    • Figure 6: Map of active volcanoes of the world
    • Figure 7: Mountain ranges of the world
    • 2 pieces plastic sheet used for book cover, same size as a book page
    • marking pens (two different colors)

    Procedure:
    1. Study Figure 5 showing the earthquake distribution around the world. Trace the
    approximate locations of several earthquake “clusters” using a marking pen on one of
    the plastic sheets.

    Figure 5. Map of earthquake distribution (Red, green, and blue dots represent earthquake
    epicenters)

    2. Study the map of active volcanoes in Figure 6.

    Figure 6. Map of active volcanoes (Red areas represent presence of volcanoes)

    3. On the second plastic sheet, sketch the approximate locations of several volcanoes
    using a marking pen.
    4. Place the earthquake plastic sheet over the volcano plastic sheet.
    5. Study Figure 7, the orange portions indicate mountain ranges of the
    world.
    6. Now that you have seen the location of volcanoes, mountain ranges, and majority of
    earthquake epicenters, study Figure 2 on page 7, Map of Plate boundaries once more.

    Guide Questions:
    Q5. How are earthquakes distributed on the map?

    Q6. Where are they located?

    Q7. Where are there no earthquakes?

    Q8. Why is it important for us to identify areas which are prone to earthquakes?

    Q9. How are volcanoes distributed?

    Q10. Where are they located?

    Q11. Based on the map, mention a country that is unlikely to experience a volcanic
    eruption.

    Q12. Compare the location of majority of earthquake epicenters with the location of
    volcanoes around the world.

    Q13. How will you relate the distribution of mountain ranges with the distribution of
    earthquake epicenters and volcanoes?

    Q14. What do you think is the basis of scientists in dividing Earth’s lithosphere into
    several plates?
