Volcanic activity, earthquakes, tsunamis, geysers, hot springs, faults, oceanic vents, island arcs, hot spots and rift valleys should all be included in the identification of plates and plate boundaries

Volcanic activity, earthquakes, tsunamis, geysers, hot springs, faults, oceanic vents, island arcs, hot spots and rift valleys should all be included in the identification of plates and plate boundaries. Plate boundary identification (converging, diverging, transform) must be based on the resulting features or events. The focus must be on the cause of plate movement, the type and direction of plate movement and the result of the plate movement, not on memorizing plate names.
