This project is for students who did not and will not complete the Plate
Tectonics stop-motion animation video project.
Project Requirements:
- Create high quality cross-section diagrams of two different tectonic
features. You may choose any of the features from the videos below
except for a transform boundary. Watch at
least one of the videos below and create diagrams that
show all of the features that are shown in the video.
- Your diagrams will be graded on:
- Accuracy and completness. Make sure that you correctly show
and label all of the features from the video. Any labels that
appear in the video must also appear in your diagrams.
- Ease of use. The diagrams must be easy to understand.
This means they must be reasonably neat, and all of the characteristics
should be clear.
- Size. Each of your diagrams must fill up at least half of one
side of a standard 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper.
- You may not choose to diagram a transform boundary. Any two of
the other features listed below are okay.
- Since this is an alternative assignment that is replacing an assignment
you have failed to complete, there will be an automatic 10% deduction from
your grade. This means your maximum score is 90%.
- Turn-in this assignment in either hard-copy (paper) form or scan it
using a high quality scanner and e-mail it to
jstapleton@ccsuvt.org.
- Links to videos showing how to draw the diagrams:
