Task:
1. Make a chart to illustrate and label the three major types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform fault. (10 Marks)
2. Make a table and label geologic formations that form from convergent plate boundaries for the following type of subduction zones: oceanic crust- oceanic crust; oceanic crust – continental crust; and continental crust – continental crust. Give at least 1 specific land form that has arisen from each. (5 Marks)
3. Make an illustration of a geologic hot spot. Give 2 examples of geologic formations that have resulted from geologic hot spots. (5 Marks)
4. Include a world map. Label examples of hotspots, volcanic arcs, divergent plate boundaries, the Himalayan Mountains. (5 Marks)
