How do earthquake locations and depths relate to tectonic plate boundaries?

Your assignment is to plot the 21 most recent world earthquake locations on your Plate Tectonics map using information available on-line from the National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) of the United States Geological Survey (USGS). In addition you will investigate the depth, frequency and distribution of earthquakes at two different types of tectonic plate boundaries. DIRECTIONS 1.

Access the USGS NEIC homepage at http://wwwneic.cr.usgs.gov/ 2. Follow the CURRENT EARTHQUAKE INFORMATION LINK 3. Follow the link titled Near Real-Time Earthquake Bulletin "Finger" List 4.

You should now see a hyperlinked table showing location, depth, time and magnitude information for the 21 most recent earthquakes (of significant magnitude) in the world. Scroll down the page and you will see a hyperlinked map showing the locations of same earthquakes that are shown in the table. €¢ Transfer the table to a word processor or spreadsheet.

Highlighting, copying and pasting will work. Add these columns ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
