Geology 15 - Activity 2 Plate Boundaries and Seafloor Spreading Name We will use the map Plate Boundaries (Bird, 2003). You will also benefit with a calculator and color pencils. Part 1: Plate Boundaries of the Earth, Mollweide Projection. 1. Identify the major plate boundaries on the chart using the following colors and symbols: a. Divergent plate boundary (arrows showing direction of plate spreading) (Red) b. Transform plate boundary (arrows indicating direction of plate motion) (Blue) c. Convergent plate boundary (teeth on the upthrown plate) (Green) * Indicate where 3 plates form a Triple Junction using the letters: TJ. 2. Hot Spots: There are about 30! Locate and label with a red circle and the name (e.g. Hawai'i, Yellowstone, Azores, Ireland, etc.) 3. Seamounts: Island and Seamount Chains form as seafloor crust moves over a hot spot. Locate seamount chains using a red line. 4. Transform Faults: Separate Mid Ocean Ridge (MOR) segments 5. Trenches: Indicate trenches using a yellow color pencil. 6. Lithospheric Plates: Color the primary lithospheric plates.

Expert Solution
Step 1

A plate limit is a three-layered surface or zone across which there is a critical change in the (speed or direction) of movement of one lithospheric plate comparative with the adjoining lithospheric plate.
