Objectives:
•What: Learning about where earthquake and volcano activity occurs in the USA and why it occurs in these areas.
•Why: So that we can understand the pattern of risk for tectonic hazards in the USA.
•How: Exploring tectonic patterns through discussion, mapping, creating diagrams.

Oreo Tectonics!
Using the top of your Oreo, create models of each plate boundary
Take a photo using Skitch
Annotate the photos showing the following:
-Plate name
-Plate movement
-Landform created
