Physical Geology Plate Tectonics Lab (GOL 105). (2020 revision)
Useful maps include:http://pubs.usgs.gov/imap/2800/ This Dynamic Planet (USGS publications)
A global map or atlas – The National Geographic Map below, or an analogous map including geographic and sea bottom features, can be utilized. https://mapmaker.nationalgeographic.org/#/
Before typing your answers into the tables supplied, please save this document on your computer with a file name that includes your name, then save your copy and submit it via Canvas.
Directions:Please use the maps above to find numerous examples of each of the following plate tectonic settings. Please read the legend at the bottom of this Dynamic Planet Map for an explanation of the symbols used. Give the setting a geographic name (e.g., the Andes Mountains, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, etc.) and specify the tectonic plate(s) involved in each example. The names of the plates can be found on the This Dynamic Planet Map.
The names of linked geologic features are not provided on this Dynamic Planet Map. An atlas will be required to locate these. You may find several geographic atlases online (the link above is for the National Geographic globe atlas), or you can use one that you already have at home. Make sure you get an atlas that includes both the geographic names of land features and the geographic names of ocean floor features. There may be more than one geographic feature connected with some features. The deep-sea trench or the continental volcanic arc, for example, can be used to identify an ocean-continent convergent boundary. Although you only need to identify each scene with one notable geographic characteristic, having more than one will be helpful.
Finally, make a list of the common geologic phenomena or features linked with each type of plate tectonic feature. The following are some examples:
minor shallow tremors deep, big earthquakes
volcanoes
(hot spot volcanic tracks, volcanic island arcs, or continental volcanic arcs)
trenches in the deep sea
ridges in the ocean (spreading centers)
mountain ranges on the continent (non-volcanic)
Don’t include specific place names or landscape features (such as “Mount St. Helens”); the purpose is to see what all examples of this type of border have in common (such as “deep earthquakes, volcanic island arcs, and deep-sea tunnels”).Differentiated Boundaries:
On the planet, locate five (5) divergent plate borders (spreading centers). What general geologic features/phenomena are associated with this boundary (e.g., earthquakes, volcanoes, trenches, mountains, etc.)? Keep in mind that not all objects on the map labeled “ridge” are tectonic spreading centers. Name Plates Are Involved Geologic Phenomena/FeaturesBoundaries That Converge:
Ocean-OceanThree (3) separate ocean-ocean convergent boundaries should be identified. Make sure to specify which two plates are colliding and which plate is being subducted in the collision. What geologic features or occurrences are linked with this border in general? Name Plates Are Involved Geologic Phenomena/Features
Ocean-Continent
Determine three (3) different convergent ocean-continent borders. Make sure to specify which two plates are colliding and which plate is being subducted in the collision. What geologic features or occurrences are linked with this border in general? Name Plates Are Involved Geologic Phenomena/FeaturesContinent-Continent
Identify at least one (1) convergent border between continents. Make a note of which two plates are involved in the incident. What geologic features or phenomena are linked to this line? Name Plates Are Involved Geologic Phenomena/Features
Boundaries Must Be Transformed:
Locate four (4) separate transform faults on the Earth’s surface. What geologic features or phenomena are linked to this line? Name Plates Are Involved Geologic Phenomena/Features
Areas of Interest:
Locate five (4) active hot spots on the Earth’s surface. What geologic features or phenomena are linked to this line? Involvement of a Name Plate Geologic Phenomena/FeaturesEstimate the percentage of an ocean basin’s perimeter that is made up of deep-sea trenches to see if it is getting bigger or smaller over time. If deep-sea trenches make up more than half of the circumference (>50%), the ocean basin is most certainly shrinking. If deep-sea trenches make up less than half of the perimeter (50 percent), the ocean is expected to grow in size throughout time.
Determine if each of the following oceans or seas is growing or shrinking over time:
The Atlantic Ocean is a large body of water inThe Pacific Ocean is a large body of water in
Ocean of IndiaThe Red Sea
Ocean of the North Pole

QUALITY OF RESPONSE NO RESPONSE POOR / UNSATISFACTORY SATISFACTORY GOOD EXCELLENT Content (worth a maximum of 50% of the total points) Zero points: Student failed to submit the final paper. 20 points out of 50: The essay illustrates poor understanding of the relevant material by failing to address or incorrectly addressing the relevant content; failing to identify or inaccurately explaining/defining key concepts/ideas; ignoring or incorrectly explaining key points/claims and the reasoning behind them; and/or incorrectly or inappropriately using terminology; and elements of the response are lacking. 30 points out of 50: The essay illustrates a rudimentary understanding of the relevant material by mentioning but not full explaining the relevant content; identifying some of the key concepts/ideas though failing to fully or accurately explain many of them; using terminology, though sometimes inaccurately or inappropriately; and/or incorporating some key claims/points but failing to explain the reasoning behind them or doing so inaccurately. Elements of the required response may also be lacking. 40 points out of 50: The essay illustrates solid understanding of the relevant material by correctly addressing most of the relevant content; identifying and explaining most of the key concepts/ideas; using correct terminology; explaining the reasoning behind most of the key points/claims; and/or where necessary or useful, substantiating some points with accurate examples. The answer is complete. 50 points: The essay illustrates exemplary understanding of the relevant material by thoroughly and correctly addressing the relevant content; identifying and explaining all of the key concepts/ideas; using correct terminology explaining the reasoning behind key points/claims and substantiating, as necessary/useful, points with several accurate and illuminating examples. No aspects of the required answer are missing. Use of Sources (worth a maximum of 20% of the total points). Zero points: Student failed to include citations and/or references. Or the student failed to submit a final paper. 5 out 20 points: Sources are seldom cited to support statements and/or format of citations are not recognizable as APA 6th Edition format. There are major errors in the formation of the references and citations. And/or there is a major reliance on highly questionable. The Student fails to provide an adequate synthesis of research collected for the paper. 10 out 20 points: References to scholarly sources are occasionally given; many statements seem unsubstantiated.
