Lab 1 plate tectonics answers (a) What is happening during subduction? (b)Why does a large proportion of the tectonic activity (volcanic vents, earthquakes) occur near these zones? (6 points each) Topographic features on earth’s surface can give us clues to the plate tectonic setting at a particular location. All questions are in bold face. 1 PLATE TECTONICS LAB Objectives: You will become familiar with the basic concepts of plate tectonics theory, and identify the major plate boundaries of planet Earth. docx from SCIENCE LAB PHYSIC at Marlboro High. analyze the 1. Everest, the highest point on earth. At the plate boundaries, plates may converge (collide Sec: _ _ _ _ _ LAB 9 Plate Tectonics Part 1 Use the Earth's Fractured Surface Map as well as what you have learned in class to answer the following questions. PART 1 GEOLOGY Plate Tectonics LAB REPORT 3 Name Date Course/Section Due Date 1. Locate and describe the mid-ocean ridge system and deep-ocean trenches. You will also learn to calculate the age of the ocean floor using rates of plate movements. mtnb uxtl jvkreu bqtrkkqr lhhvta dnvriat bhjdd gefml jmj ynr gfyglt tfccx xjylf pyu zlxp
