Plate tectonics mind map w/ answer key for A-level geography

This is a mind map to help students make connections between various types of plate boundaries and the processes involved that created various landforms. I use this for my AS (CIE Cambridge curriculum) geography students for the rocks & weathering unit but it could also be used as a refresher activity for A2 students who are learning about hazardous environments. It could be used as a revision tool or be used for a homework assignment or even a quiz. Student answer sheet, word bank and answer key (3 pages) are included in this document. The cover image is only a partial view of the blank student answer sheet (1st page).

This exercise satisfies most of the following learning objectives:

• Understand the different types of plate boundaries, why they occur and the processes that operate there: divergent (constructive), conservative, convergent (destructive)
• Understand processes such as subduction and sea floor spreading
• Describe and explain the landforms formed at boundaries, such as: fold mountains, ocean ridges, rift valleys, ocean trenches, volcanic island arcs, accretionary wedges
