This latest version of this colorful wall map, primarily intended for a non-technical audience for educational purposes, will be printed on two sides. The front side will show the world's volcanoes that have been active during the 10,000 years, well-located earthquakes with magnitudes 5 or greater, all known impact craters, and the major tectonic plates. The back side of the map-perhaps most useful to teachers of earth science from middle school through the freshman-sophomore college level-will feature the main types of plate boundaries and the principal elements of how plate tectonics works, illustrated by the highest-resolution images and photographs. Also shown on the map's backside will a geologic timeline showing fragmentation and movement of continents and the opening and closing of oceans. Finally, the backside also includes several tables of the most notable earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and impact craters and the reasons for their selection/importance.
