Plate Tectonics Wikispaces
We have discussed different types of plate boundaries; convergent, divergent, and transform. Now it's your turn to design your own plate tectonic wikispace. Each group will have a specific assignment and each page should have the following: **  ·   Definition of the specific plate boundary ·  At least three examples of where this type of boundary occurs on Earth. Be specific and include a copy of a plate tectonic map with the areas identified. ·  Effects of this type of boundary on Earth. (Recent earthquakes or volcanoes in the area?) Be very specific! ·  Animation and/or graphic of the plate boundary interaction. ·  Four “test” questions on your specific plate boundary. ·  References in APA format – use www.citationmachine . net   ** Resources to get you started: ·  Plate Tectonics: __ http://msteacher.org/epubs/science/science1/animations.aspx __ ·  Geology.com: http://geology.com/nsta/ ·  Plate Boundaries: http://scign.jpl.nasa.gov/learn/plate4.htm ·  Understanding Plate Motions: http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/dynamic/understanding.html ·  Plate Tectonic Animations from USGS: http://www.nature.nps.gov/geology/usgsnps/animate/pltecan.html ·  Essentials of Geology: http://www.wwnorton.com/college/geo/egeo/animations/ch2.htm ·  Plate Tectonic Movement Visualizations: http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/visualization/collections/PTMovements.html
