Our classification systems were quite similar, perhaps it would be possible to condense it into a single classification system, seeing as the occurrence of earthquakes, volcanism, seafloor age, and elevation are related. Perhaps it could be done by putting the values for E, V, T, and S next to each other. Ie: E1V2T1S3. I like your idea of…[Read more]

I thought this was a very informative lab as we were exposed to a various assortment of maps presenting different features and layers of physical properties in relation to plate tectonics. It was shocking to see the numerous patterns that arose when overlapping the earthquake and volcano maps with the plate map, indicating how the formation of…[Read more]

I agree that these maps are very helpful in understanding where earthquakes happen. It also helped to see where the interactions between plate boundaries caused different severity in earthquakes.

This lab was very interesting to do and the question/answers were very informative. The maps were well made and very easy to follow through. The plate boundaries and reoccurring patterns were studied which helped me answer all the questions for this lab. It gave me a better understanding of why some countries experience more earthquakes and…[Read more]

Byungjun,
I have to say I do agree with the map showing and explaining why certain natural occurrences, tracking these natural disasters does indeed make them more predictable. One other occurrence we can draw conclusions to is the earthquake that struck Hati in 2010, with a magnitude of 7.0. Concurrently Hati is a landmass that also is marked on…[Read more]

The lab experiment was thoroughly demonstrated the reoccurring patterns to which we were able to identify the ways in which plate boundaries and their movements displaying how they materialize on Earth through natural occurrences. Disasters we know to re-occur on a known pattern that we are able to visualize and track through these maps. More…[Read more]

I agree with what you enjoyed about this lab. I also found it interesting that the Pacific and Australian plates were clustered with earthquakes. It is interesting that you found an example in history such as Japan that shows how reliable the maps are in understanding.

I enjoyed doing this lab3 because the maps were straight forward which was easy to understand the map. I liked observing different plate boundaries that have specific characters such as the patterns of earthquakes topography, and seafloor ages. The most intriguing part was the earthquake map. Most of the earthquakes were clustering around the…[Read more]

1a. No. Volcanoes aren’t present on all boundaries.
1b. Volcanoes are found on the Pacific, North American, South American, African, and Australian plates. Each plate has a contribution to the overall map. The North American and South American plate boundaries are covered by volcanoes with a concentration on the western boundary. The A…[Read more]

1.
- The Volcanoes are not present on all boundaries, they are located on the boundaries where the land meets the plate boundaries mostly, as well as they are spread out throughout landmasses mostly.
- Volcanoes for the most part is located close to the plate boundary; they occur in a non-linear pattern which occurs along most of the plate…

Kayla Hernandez replied to the topic Lab 3: Discovering Plate Boundaries Classifications
According to the images presented, it is clear that there are volcanoes along all plate boundaries. There are roughly 4 unique plate boundaries based on the characteristics of volcanoes.V1 is the small circular cluster of volcanoes such as on the nation of Greenland, V2 is the long linear chain of volcanoes on plate boundaries such as the…[Read more]

Luis Antonio Alchundia Laborde replied to the topic Lab 3: Discovering Plate Boundaries Classifications
Not all the plate boundaries have volcanoes. Volcanoes are common along convergent and divergent plate boundaries, but are also found within lithospheric plates away from plate boundaries. Volcanoes occur on and near a plate boundary. The distribution of the volcanoes depends on the área along the Pacific Ocean basin, on the edges of the Pacific,…[Read more]

Volcano Boundaries:
No, volcanoes are not present at all boundaries.
Volcanoes form mostly at the boundaries of the earth’s tectonic plate.
V1– very few volcanoes
V2– few volcanoes
V3– large number of volcanoes
Earthquake boundaries:
Earthquake are present in mostly all boundaries.
Most earthquakes are witnessed along the plate…[Read more]

Now that you have made and recorded your observations, write a brief summary to share your boundary classifications with your group. Your post should include 4 sets of classifications, one for each map, i.e., the V, E, T, and S boundaries. If you had lingering questions or ob…[Read more]

Saundarya,
This is a really interesting topic to observe because I never thought about why snow crunch when I step on it. Also, I didn’t realize that the air is trapped in the snow that makes snow fluffy. -
Saundarya Sharma replied to the topic Lab 2: Scientific Method
Byungjun Shim,
Your experiment and the conclusion you provided was very insightful. The way you conducted the experiment with the ice cube was very interesting. You concluded you experiment saying it was the pressure that melted the ice instead of the heat which then made the ice slippery. Have you come across new research articles that stated…[Read more]
