As you know, the dynamic Earth is composed of a number of tectonic plates, constantly being created and destroyed by the processes of plate tectonics. This exercise will help you remember more about the geometry and relationship between the plates by giving you a chance to 'build' the Earth!
Each of the plates is at the bottom of the screen. Click on one - It's name will be highlighted orange. Move it to where you think it belongs and click on it again. If you're correct, the name will turn green.
Place the plate at left in the top left to begin!

This completes this exercise - The arrows are convergent margins - do you notice any relationship to areas of higher topography!
