Plate Boundaries & Landforms — concept Map Template
Visualizes how divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries create key landforms, with processes and real‑world examples.
What This Template Offers
Turn complex tectonics into a clean, color‑coded map that’s easy to teach, present, and study.
- Pre‑built branches for boundary types
- Structured nodes for landforms, processes, and examples
- Editable examples: Mid‑Atlantic Ridge, Himalayas, San Andreas Fault
- Professional colors and spacing for instant readability
- Export‑ready for slides, LMS, or reports
Perfect Use Cases
Geology lecture slide
Summarize plate boundaries and landforms on one screen; highlight processes like seafloor spreading, subduction, and strike‑slip motion.
Field study briefing
Equip students with a compact map linking nearby plate settings to expected landforms (e.g., mid‑ocean ridges, rift valleys, fault‑bounded basins).
Research poster or report
Show relationships among plate motion, landforms, and seismicity with labeled examples and concise metrics to support your narrative.
Emergency risk training
Clarify how transform faults relate to shallow, damaging earthquakes and infrastructure risk using the San Andreas Fault as a case study.
How to Customize
Outline your nodes
Type relationships as Parent > Child > Detail (e.g., Plate Boundaries > Divergent > Processes: Seafloor spreading).
Add examples and metrics
Include locations, plate velocities (cm/yr), earthquake magnitudes, and trench depths to add authority and context.
Style and share
Apply colors by boundary type, adjust spacing for clarity, then download a high‑res image or share an embed link.
