Tectonic Plates, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Challenge geography classes to locate the major volcanoes and earthquake faults on a world map. In groups, they identify the pattern made and examine the relationship between the locations of the faults and volcanoes and tectonic plates. They then write a summary and share their thoughts with the class to end the lesson.
