Master plate tectonics and topographic maps! Review boundary types and map interpretation skills.

Match the plate boundary to the image Transform Convergent Divergent Sort the following into the correct plate boundary Divergent plates move away from each other New crust is formed magma rises between two plates Convergent Continental to Continental (collision) Himalayas Two Continental plates move towards each other Creates Mountains Transform Plate slide past each other San Andreas Fault Known for creating earthquakes Convergent Oceanic to Oceanic (subduction) Volcanic island arcs An oceanic plate slides under another plate Trenches What is a Topographic Map? Topographic Maps Read through the questions below.Watch the video pausing it when you need to answer questions.Each section tells you the times in the video you should reference in order to find the answers. What is the purpose of a topographic map? (0:00-1:00) To represent the land in a 3 dimensional way To show roads and their curves To show where the air is thicker or more polluted Contour Lines:Video1:01-1:57 Contour Lines show the elevation of the land. They connect points of equal elevation to represent what hills or valleys a hiker might encounter on a hike. Reading Contour Lines Video 1:01-1:57 A B C Elevation Points Using the topographic map above, put the elevation of each of the points. Letter Point Elevation A 500 B 400 C 600 Describe what a scale is. Video 3:12-3:33 Describe what a compass rose is. Video 3:37-3:51 X What is the contour interval in the map above? What is a contour interval- Video 2:35-3:10How to find your own- Video 4:00-6:00 At the point X (blue dot) on the map above. What is the elevation there?
