Iceland's Geology and Plate Boundaries

The lesson explores Iceland's plate boundary through video reviews and group activities. Students watch animations of different plate boundaries and are divided into groups to complete readings and create models. Each group focuses on specific aspects of Iceland's geology, such as surface features, plate boundaries, and hot spots. The lesson concludes with instructions for completing student work and moving on to the next activity.

What is the primary focus of the lesson on Iceland's plate boundary?

• Learning about the wildlife in Iceland

• Studying the plate motions and boundaries in Iceland

• Exploring the economic impact of Iceland's geology
