"Summary

Volcanoes, earthquakes, and topography reveal whether a continental margin is active or passive. In this activity, students use the GeoMapApp tool to work with earthquake, volcano, and topographic data to identify active and passive margins.
Learning Goals

* Utilize earthquake data to locate subducting slabs
* Examine topographic data to determine volcanic arc locations relative to trenches
* Integrate earthquake, volcano, and topographic data to distinguish between passive and active margins
* Introduce GeoMapApp, an easy-to-use mapping program focused on marine geology and geophysics"
