Earthquakes and Subduction Zones Lab Amy Paret Mrs. Igo 9th Grade Periods 3 and 4 Even Date: 2/14/13 Background Research: This lab uses earthquake data to construct profiles of two convergent boundaries: the Tonga Trench and the Peru-Chile Trench. Where two tectonic plates converge‚ if one or both of the plates is an oceanic lithosphere‚ a subduction zone will form. When crust is formed at a mid-ocean ridge‚ it is hot and buoyant meaning it has a low density. As it spreads away from the ridge and

enough to allow for the amazing discoveries that happened during the period. The compass and astrolabe were some of the most advanced tools of the time and helped immensely with the problems they faced. A huge problem of the time was finding a ship’s longitude and the only way that they had to do it was by using the ships speed and the time that they had been traveling to calculate their distance from the point where they had set off. They used a rope with a series of knots down its length in measured
