Note: The tectonic plate boundaries shown in the lab imagery are more detailed than the ones shown in your book on Figure 10.05.a1. Boundaries in the lab sometimes delineate subplates within the major plates that are not labeled. For the questions below, we are only trying to identify MAJOR tectonic plates (not the subplates). Major plates are labeled on the lab imagery, but for questions 5-22, note that you may have to zoom out and/or pan around the mapping to find the names and boundaries of the plates.
