1 Name: Earth Science Lab 13: Patterns of Crustal Activity Date: Class: Introduction: Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountain ranges do not occur randomly. There are special zones in which they occur. Scientists discovered that when the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes were plotted on a world map, these locations occurred in a pattern. These patterns led scientists to believe that the Earth s crust is divided into different sections or plates. By plotting the locations of earthquakes, scientists have not only been able to locate plate boundaries but have also been able to determine plate characteristics and predict the movement of the plates. In this lab you will look for the relationships between the locations of these crustal activities and plate boundaries. Objective: Students will describe how the location of volcanoes and earthquakes are related to plate boundaries by plotting points on a map and comparing data. Vocabulary: Earthquake: Mid-Atlantic Ridge: Subduction: Fault line: Procedure: 1. Your teacher will show you an Earthquake Location Map. Using this as a reference, draw blue circles on your map at the approximate locations where earthquakes have occurred. 2. Your teacher will show you a map of active volcanoes. Using this as reference, draw red triangles on your map at the locations of active volcanoes. 3. On the attached information sheet, find the locations of the following volcanoes. Plot a point at each location and label the point as indicated in the chart. Fuji, Krakatau, Mt. St. Helens, Vesuvius 4. On the attached information sheet, find the locations of the earthquakes that have occurred on the following dates. Plot a point at each location and label the point as indicated in the chart. Jan. 24, 2016, Mar. 2, 2016, Apr. 16, 2016, Nov. 14, On the attached information sheet, find the locations of the following mountains. Plot a point at each location and label the point as indicated in the chart. 6. Answer the conclusion questions that follow. Mt. Everest, Mt. Aconcagua, Mt. Denali 1
2 INFORMATION SHEET: Plot the following volcanoes in pencil on your map by drawing a point at their latitude and longitude. You must label each point as indicated.

4 Conclusion Questions: Answer the following questions based on your findings in and your ESRT. Answer by using sentences. 1. How are the locations of earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain ranges related to each other? 2. According to the blue circles you drew representing earthquakes, identify which coast in North America shows the greatest amount of earthquake activity. 3. The perimeter of around the Pacific Ocean referred to as the Ring of Fire. Analyze your map and explain why you think it was given that name. 4. Compare the map you created to the Tectonic Plates map on page 5 of the ESRT. Explain how the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes (and mountains) are related to the location of plate boundaries. 5. Using your answer from question #4, explain why it is unlikely that New York City will ever have a major earthquake. 6. Why would studying plate boundaries be important to helping keep people safe? 7. Use latitude and longitude to find the geologic feature found in that area.
