Seventh graders are investigating the effects of plate tectonics on specific regions of the world. They have used interactive mapping software to collect data about topography and tectonic activity and are in the process of formulating explanations for the activity they have noticed. Helpful websites for this project include:

Final explanations for the tectonic activity in each region are due THURSDAY, APRIL 24th!
