Discovering
Plate
Boundaries
is
based
on
5
world
maps
containing
earthquake,
volcano,
topography,
satellite
gravity,
and
seafloor
age
data.
The
novel
aspect
of
the
exercise
is
the
"jigsaw"
manner
in
which
student
groups
access
the
maps
and
use
them
to
discover,

and
describe
plate
boundary
types.
The
exercise
is
based
only
on
observation
and
description,
which
makes
it
useful
at

to
an
instrumental
analysis
of
the
amount
of
energy
they
released
in
the
form

seismic
waves.
This
work
