This document discusses plate tectonics and describes the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts. It notes that places where most earthquakes originate and some mountains and volcanoes formed mark the boundaries of lithospheric plates. Each plate slowly moves relative to the others, causing geological events like volcanoes and earthquakes to occur along their boundaries. Plates are large pieces of the upper Earth that move as single units above the mantle, and important processes happen at their margins such as mountain building, quakes, and volcanic eruptions.

3. Objectives:
 Describe the distribution of active
volcanoes, earthquake epicenters and
major mountain belts.
 Determine the scientific basis for
dividing the Lithospheric Plates.

20. Remember:
 Places on earth where most of the
earthquakes originated or some
mountains and volcanoes were
formed mark the boundaries of each
lithospheric plate.
 Each plate is slowly moving relative to
each other, causing geologic events
to happen along their boundaries.

21. Remember:
 Plates are large pieces of the upper
few hundred kilometers of Earth that
move as a single unit as it floats
above the mantle.
 As plates interact along their margins,
important geological processes take
place,
such as the formation of mountain belts,
earthquakes, and volcanoes.
