Mapping Earthquakes and Volcanoes Skills Lab

During this lab, we worked on our mapping skills and used coordinates of latitude and longitude to plot Earthquake and Volcanic occurences on a world map.

When you write your blog post be sure to include the title of the lab, the guiding question, your hypothesis, a picture of the map you plotted the coordinates on, as well as your analysis (question 1 and 2) as well as the conclusion.  Complete the More to Explore as well.  EXCEPT, on the map of the world, or U.S. locate active volcanoes and areas of earthquake activity.  Determine the distance fro m your home to the nearest active volcano.  :)

Guiding Question:  Is there a pattern in the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes?  Well...what do you think?
