The Peruvian coast (here, the Nazca Lines) is a dichotomy. The land portion is a desert created by a rain shadow. The ocean is one of the most productive fisheries in the world from an upwelling of deep sea nutrients, up the Atacama Trench. This is all due to the type of plate boundary along the coast.
Identify the types and locations of plate boundaries on Earth and associate these with the physical geography you know about around the world (mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, etc.) Your summative will task you use critical thinking to identify plate boundaries. Additionally, draw mantle convection underneath the plate boundary.
Accurately draw and label the following terms in your unit summative, as they pertain the plate boundaries and movement—
Convergent -or- Divergent -or- Transform Boundary
Conduction
Convection
