Watch the following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDqskltCixA

The location of plate boundaries and their associated features Objectives Understand where the Earth’s plates are Understand the link between plate margins and the location of fold mountains, earthquakes and volcanoes. Outcomes A completed world map with the locations of earthquakes, volcanoes and fold mountains on. A completed paragraph explaining the link between plate margins and Earthquakes, volcanoes and fold mountains

The location of plate boundaries and their associated features On the plate boundary map add all of the earthquakes, volcanoes, fold mountains and trenches Complete the comparison exercise using the table on the sheet provided Use knowledge from the video to say why the location of earthquakes and volcanoes coincides with major plate boundaries.

Surface features found along different plate margins. Along Constructive plate margins the plates are moving apart. Here we get such features as…….but we don’t find any…….. A good example of a constructive plate margin is the Mid Atlantic Ridge, where the…..plate is moving…….from the …….plate Repeat for destructive, collisional and conservative
