In the summer before I go to college to study geology, I will be leaving my hometown to visit four tectonic sites and surrounding areas. First, I will visit New Zealand's Alpine Fault, a transform fault where the Pacific Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate slide alongside each other. Then I will go to Iceland and the divergent tectonic boundary between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate. I will travel to the Himalayas, a mountain range formed as the Indian Plate and the Eurasian plate collide. I will end my journey in Japan and the subduction of the Pacific Plate under the North Atlantic Plate, which has caused devastating earthquakes. Bon voyage!
NOTE: THIS IS A FICTIONAL TOUR. -Sophia L
