We will do this activity in the lab room - 112 - in the interest of space You will collaborate with your group members but submit your own work. **PART ONE - Locate your 3 exotic places** You selected an envelope with three laminated calendar photos each representing a specific location in the world Your table has a list of the all the calendar dates in order (Jan. 1-Dec. 31) with the location of the photo Print the locations of your three photos on the front of your worksheet. Using the large Dynamic Planet map, locate the three places. Use Google Earth. Search for each place and bookmark them on Google Earth. This Dynamic Planet map online http://www.loc.gov/item/97682504/ **PART TWO - Investigate each place** For each place, find out the following information, which you record on the worksheet 1 - The full name of the place - with country and continent 2 - The name of the tectonic plate on which each location lies 2a - Specific location on the plate - in the middle or near or at the boundary. 2b - If at or near the plate boundary, give the name of the other plate or plates. 2c - If at or near the plate boundary, define the boundary - divergent or convergent (what type?) or transverse? 2d - If not at or near a plate boundary, is the place over a hotspot? How can you tell? 3 - Use Google Earth to explore each location. Describe the landscape in your own words. Is it hilly or mountainous? Is it forested or barren? 4 - Geo Hazards? 5 - Climate? 6 - Natural resources? Human element - language, culture, history
