Conclusion: Paragraph summarizing your findings from those labs. IMPORTANT: The lab report is on the features of convergent plate boundary; therefore, yo do not have to discuss the parts of the lab that do not relate to those features (for example, discuss only the subduction zone diagram from lab 3).

Draw arrows on the plates to indicate the directions in which they are moving. Draw a second set of arrows to show the direction of flow in the asthenosphere. What feature would you find at the center of the mid-ocean ridge?

9 Part 2 Calculation of plate movement Look at the map of the age of the seafloor in Fig. 2.17 of "Earth Scienc By looking at the figure, do you think the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is spreading faster or slower than the East Pacific Rise? Explain why you think this. Spreads ar astower rate, because we can see lowered roots ar re taro disance from re East Paenit rise in Compunson to ne mid atlanne Ridge Locate New York City on that map and answer the questions below. What age is the seafloor immediately off the coast of NYC? 150 Million years Using the ruler tool in Google Earth, what is the shortest distance (in km) of the edge of the continental shelf off NYC to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge? 6042 should be half of this value from Using the equation rate = distance / time, how fast had North America moved away the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (in cm/year)? Show your calculations, Ridge - distance time - Distance lage = 6,042 KM/ ) 150 Munon years = ( 6042 x 1000 x 100 cm / 6 (150 x 10 years ) -14.028 cm/ years Considering that South America is moving away from the East Pacific Rise at approximately 8.6 cm/year, do these rates agree with your initial assumption? Explain why. Yes, becave Ile East Pacific rose is spreading at re rure of 8.6 cm / year and mid Atlantic Ridge is Piceding Charare of around 4.028cm/year. Thus, the data also Suaprt Thot tu mid Atlantic ride is sprending ne at a slower Tate than the east Pacific rise
Pencil Computer with Google Earth software loaded In-class lab exercises Part 1 Interpretation of Mount Saint Helens Open Google Earth Pro on your computer. Search for "Mount Saint Helens, WA" in the box at the top left of your screen. Zoom in or out until you can clearly see the mountain and crater. Use the ruler tool to draw a topographic profile from west to east across the center of the crater. Make sure you can clearly see the entire mountain on your profile. Save the topographic profile on a blank word document. You should have both the map and the profile. Print the image and include it with your lab. Use the area tool on Google Earth to calculate the area of the crater (sq.km).
Part 2 Interpretation of Crater Lake Next search for "Crater Lake, Klamath County, OR" in the box at the top left of your screen. Use the ruler tool to draw a topographic profile from west to east across the center of the crater. Make sure you can clearly see the entire mountain on your profile (not just the lake) Save the topographic profile on a blank word document. You should have both the map and the profile. Print the image and include it with your lab. Use the area tool on Google Earth to calculate the area of Crater Lake. (sq.km).

Part 3 Worldwide Plate Boundaries On the present day world map on the next page use color to mark the divergent, convergent and transform plate boundaries. Choose a different color for each type of plate boundary, and show these colors in a key. Are there more convergent or divergent boundaries, or are their total lengths about the same? There are total length of convergent and diverg Div boundares are the same Why is this? There is no rength gain or loss of a plate. In one side a plate consuming at convergent boundary Then in other Side it is created Where are most of the transform boundaries located? occur at The Mid oceanic ridges Why? because he two plates pulling apart from each other in opposite directions Why?
In-class lab exercises Part 1: Epicenter and Magnitude During this exercise you will calculate the epicenter location and magnitude of two earthquakes, using software on the Internet. Go to http://www.sciencecourseware.org/Virtua ... ake/VQuake Execute.html Read the text about earthquakes, and then select the Japan region. Follow the instructions on your screen, and whenever you enter a number on the computer, you should record it below. Don't forget to include units!
