Sketch a north-facing cross-section along ~10S latitude from Africa westward to the middle of the Pacific Ocean (~130W longitude).

Sketch a north-facing cross-section along ~10°S latitude from Africa westward to the middle of the Pacific Ocean (~130°W longitude). Plate-wise, that would be from the African plate, across the South American and Nazca plates, and ending in the middle of the Pacific Plate - crossing 3 plate boundaries. A cross section is similar to what you did in questions 4-5.

Use the Google Earth imagery and layers to give the necessary detail so that you include and label the following:

·     Sea level

·     Significant topographic features of the continents and the seafloor

·     Earthquake hypocenters (indicating depth below epicenter)

·     Volcanoes

·     Plate names and plate boundary locations

·     Appropriate vertical and horizontal scales. 

·     Arrows indicating relative plate motion
