Step 1: Complete questions 1-2.
Step 2: Outline the Pacific Plate in pencil. Use the picture below to help you!

Step 3: Outline the remaining plates listed on the document in pencil. Use google and the map above to help you. You will need to create your own lines on continents!
Step 6: Draw a line in pencil representing the San Andreas Fault and color it black.
Step 5: Use green triangles (Accretion) to label the following four mountain ranges. Use the picture below to help you. Sierra Nevada, Andes, Appalachian, and Himalayas.

Step 6: Find all areas around plates that say trench. Trenches form when plates collide. Color these areas blue.
Step 7: Locate plate boundaries between a continent and ocean crust. This are areas are where continental and ocean crust collide. Color these areas blue.
Step 8: Find areas of sea-floor spreading. These areas are always found in the ocean. Specifically look for places on the map that say "ridge". This represents the area is a mid-ocean ridge where sea-floor spreading occurs (new sea floor is made). Color these sections red.
Step 9: Locate Hawaii on the map. Color it yellow to indicate a hot spot.
Step 10: Complete the questions on the back of the handout. Staple handout to your physiographic chart and turn in!
