Google Earth Virtual Tour

 Here is the link to my Virtual Tour.  This tour is based on plate tectonics and the students will investigate sea-floor spreading, transform boundaries, convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and hot spot volcanoes. The student will visit the Mid-ocean ridge, San Andreas Fault, and the Hawaiian Islands. To enhance the students learning I will assign them to do the same thing I did, but i will show them how to download the USGS overlay for google maps where it shows where all plate boundaries are and the most recent earthquakes. I will then have them create a tour showing where each type of boundary is located around the word and use the overlay to determin which boundary produces the most earthquakes.
