Plate Collisions
|
Student ActivityStudents will access the website page titled ‘What are the 4 basic classes of faults?’. This page provides animations and descriptions of each type of earthquake fault. Students will first download and read through the ‘Earthquake faults’ pdf file. They will then use the animations to visualise each of the plate collision processes.
Once students have gone through each of the animations, students will complete a question worksheet in which they describe each of the processes. |
