The science of plate tectonics

Exactly HOW is plate tectonics related to the world we live in?

Your goal will be to find a series of plate tectonics links that tell me information about the following

  • boundaries
  • converging plates
  • diverging plates
  • transform faults
  • US fault lines
  • volcanos
  • tsunami

    WAIT, WAIT! This is not a 5 minute assignment. You want each link to be readable (you'll need to interpret it), validated (meaning that is wasn't written by a nut, but by someone with expertise in the area), with rich graphics (for visual learners) and for each one, we'll need to create an explanation of HOW it relates to plate tectonics. Links and explanations must be shared among group members as a google doc, and ultimately shared with your teacher
