Document Summary
Department of earth and space science & engineering. This lab is divided into three parts, each dealing with a different aspect of plate tectonics. Read the lab over beforehand and bring a pencil, metric ruler and either your textbook or your class notes to the laboratory. Allow yourself about one hour of time for each exercise. Follow the procedures as outlined and fill in your answers to all the questions on the work sheets provided. Hand in your completed lab before the end of the session. Be sure your name is on the front page and also on each of your answer sheets (in case some of the pages come apart). In the western and northern pacific ocean there are many arc-shaped groups of islands. Aleutians, the marianas, japan and indonesia are all examples. Island arcs have two important characteristics: (1) they all have deep ocean trenches nearby and (2) they are areas of volcanism and intense earthquake activity.
