Introduction



Hello.  I’m glad you have signed up for Tremendous Tectonic Tours, and I will be your tour guide today.  You may refer to me as TG.  We will be taking a tour of at least four different sites on Earth that are tectonic plate boundaries, visiting different types of boundaries including convergent collision, convergent subductions, transform, and divergent.  To start, we will visit the Mariana Trench in Guam, and explore a convergent subduction.  For the second stop, we will head to Iceland to explore a divergent boundary.   Then to the west coast of the US of A to see the San Andreas fault zone, an example of a transform boundary in California.  To polish off our trip, we end in Asia to study the Himalayas, a fantastic specimen of convergent collision. Ready to go? Hold on to your seats!
