Earthquakes and Volcanoes Overview: As students learn to read maps, it is important that they learn how to compare maps that show different types of information. This activity asks them to compare maps of plate tectonics with population density maps and to analyze what these maps imply about the relationship between population and seismic hazards. Connections to the Curriculum: Geography, physical science Connections to the National Geography Standards: Standard 3: "How to analyze the spatial organization of people, places, and environments on Earth's surface" Standard 7: "The physical processes that shape the patterns of Earth's surface" Standard 12: "The processes, patterns, and functions of human settlement" Standard 15: "How physical systems affect human systems" Time: Three hours Materials Required: Computer with Internet access Population density map (available online) Writing and drawing materials Blank Xpeditions outline maps of the United States, one for each student Objectives: Students will read about and discuss the theory of plate tectonics; map the regions of the United States that are most susceptible to earthquakes and those that have volcanoes; list the states that lie on plate boundaries; look at a population density map and explain if people avoid living in areas at high risk for earthquakes and volcanoes; and research specific volcanoes or earthquake zones and write pretend letters to residents of these areas describing the risks.
