Lab 10: Discovering Plate Boundaries

SJSU Geol 4L Planet Earth Lab Lab 10 p. 4 of 7Step E: Share your observations and interpretations.Briefly explain to one another the following:* how you interpret the patterns and variations in the data of your Scientific Specialty* where you inferred major boundaries on the world map* the boundary types you proposed in C4, and your reasons for your classificationStep F. Develop a second map of inferred plate boundaries.Compare the locations and types of plate boundaries that each of you inferred from your particularscientific specialty. Your interpretations probably differ (which is fine).1. Reconcile the differences and propose a consensus group map of boundaries; show theseboundaries on the world map on p. 7.2. Develop a revised set of boundary types (up to 4) and describe them below.Type 1Type 3Type 2Type 4Step G. Inform your instructor after you have completed Step F.Your instructor will distribute a world map showing the positions of plate boundaries as currentlyunderstood by geoscientists. Compare your group’s map to the “professional” one. If they differin some ways, remember that the scientists have access to much more, and much more detailed,data sets than the ones we used in this lab.
