Learning Goal: I’m working on a science case study and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
For this assignment
STEP 1: PRINT OUT THE ATTACHED MAP OF WORLD SEISMICITY DOWNLOAD WORLD SEISMICITY .
If you cannot print a physical copy you can make your annotations in this Google Earth Slide (Links to an external site.) – here is a brief 5-minute tutorial video (Links to an external site.) that shows you how.
Each dot on this map represents a place where earthquakes commonly occur. The color of the dot represents at what depth in Earth’s crust the rupture begins: shallow (0 to 70 km), intermediate (70 to 300 km) or deep (300 to 700 km).
STEP 2: ANNOTATE THIS MAP
Based on what you now know about the three types of plate boundaries make notes on your map.
Your annotations MUST include at least four of the following types of notes:
a line or set of lines that connect the dots
a label indicating the type of plate boundary that coincides with a particular group of earthquakes
a label indicating the type(s) of features that you would expect to find near a particular group of earthquakes
additional symbols plotted on the map (and in the map key) to indicate the presence of mountains, volcanoes, etc…
arrows to show the relative direction of plate movement
observations that relate to your own personal experience with an area shown on this map
questions or comments
For full credit, you will want to include at least 10 annotations on your map, from at least four of the categories bulleted above.
STEP 3: SCAN OR PHOTOGRAPH YOUR ANNOTATED MAP AND ATTACH WITH YOUR ON-LINE SUBMISSION.
Submissions will be graded based on the depth and quality of connection to the Learning Objectives for this module.
For example, a map that uses lines and symbols with labels or a key with questions, comments or observations that make connections will earn more points than a map that merely uses lines to connect the dots.
IN ADDITION TO THE FIGURES & MAPS FROM THIS WEEK’S ASSIGNED READINGS AND VIDEOS, HERE IS A MAP THAT CAN HELP YOU WITH YOUR ANNOTATIONS
