Activity to plot plate boundaries:

The boundaries between different lithospheric plates on Earth can be located by plotting the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes which occur preferentially along these boundaries.

You can determine this yourself by plotting recent earthquakes on a world map.  The locations of the earthquakes reveal the plate boundaries.

Recent earthquake data can be gotten from various internet sites such as wwwneic.cr.usgs.gov/neis  and  www.geo.ed.ac.uk/quakes/quakes.html.  The example data below are from wwwneic.cr.usgs.gov/neis.

Data can be plotted on a map, such as this one from www.geo.ed.ac.uk/quakes/quakes.html.
