draw a concept sketch of the tectonic processes that create the features on a fictional transect on Earth. Sketch must contain the following features in order as you move from west to east across the transect in a continuous sketch (not multiple figures):
Sketch must include:
1. Slow Spreading Ocean Ridge
2. Active Continental Margin (including continental volcanic arc) plate motion
3. Mountain range (inactive)
4. Continental Rifting
5. Passive Continental Margin (with continental margins identified)
6. Volcanic Island -Seamount chain (seamount, island, seamount, guyot)
7. Volcanic Island Arc
concept sketch must also identify the following:
1. Type of lithosphere (distinguish oceanic from continental crust), asthenosphere and magma chambers (volcanic activity)
2. Direction of plate motion (boundary named and motion indicated with arrows) - motion must agree with surface features.
3. Age and density of oceanic crust at plate boundaries
4. Features of continental margins
