Question

1. What is the highest peak of the volcano? (place the pointed on the volcano and read the elevation on the bottom right of the screen)

2. What is the latitude and longitude of the volcano? (place the pointed on the volcano and read the latitude and longitude on the bottom right of the screen)

3. Is the volcano symmetrical?

4. Does volcano have steep or gentle slope?

5. Is the slope of the southern the same as on the northern flank or gentler?

6. Zoom out to see all continents and ocean, turn the Dynamic Earth Layer on by clicking and placing a check mark on the boxes on the left side panel, and answer the questions:

Are the mountains randomly distributed on the continents or in patterns?

Are volcanoes randomly distributed on the continents or in patterns?

Are earthquakes randomly distributed on the continents or in patterns?

7. Zoom in to Mt. Everest, place the pointed on the highest peak and read the elevation, and location (latitude/longitude): What is the height of Mt. Everest in meters?

8. Zoom in to Challenger Deep, the deepest ocean floor located in the vicinity of Mariana Trench. Place the pointer on that location and read the depth below sea level (mil). What is the depth in the location of Challenger Deep? According to statistics that location should be at around 11 km (36,000 ft) below sea level, is that true according to your measurement?

9. Compare the height of Mt. Everest from question 12 to the depth of Challenger Deep, which value is higher? Is the highest point on the continent larger or smaller than the lowest point at the ocean floor?

10. There are three plate boundaries (divergent, convergent, transform). Investigate plate boundaries, and List three locations of other deep ocean trenches besides the above mentioned Mariana trench. Where are they and what plate boundaries are they associated with?
