Plate Names/Plate Movement

Poor

Missing or incorrect labeling of 14 or more plate interactions and their direction of movement. Boundary types are hard to determine because no code is provided.
Fair

Missing or incorrect labeling for 10 or more of the plate interactions and their direction of movement. Boundary types are not coded for ease of use.
Good

Incorrect labeling of 7 or less of the plate interactions and their direction of movement. Boundary types are coded but the key is not included or difficult to interpret.
Excellent

Only 3-4 plate boundary types labeled incorrectly but all labels are included. Code and key are easy to use and provide quick understanding of the map.
Plate Boundary Event Locations

Poor

Descriptions included the locations but 5 or more of the events provided inaccurate locations on the map.
Fair

Provides a location for each event but 3-4 locations may be very general and do not provide an accurate reference to the specific location on Earth's surface. All locations are marked accordingly on the map.
Good

Provides an accurate location of each event boundary location but lacks use of both plate names in 1-2 of the events. At least 7 locations are marked accordingly on map.
Excellent

Provides an accurate description of each event boundary location using plate names and geographic references. No more than 1 marked incorrect on the map.
Effects of Plate Motion

Poor

The features and descriptions of them do not occur with the boundary type indicated. Shows misunderstanding of boundary interactions and their effects as 5 lack complete and specific descriptions of the feature's formation.
Fair

Includes 2 features from Earth's surface that represent each of the 5 boundary types. 4 of the event descriptions showed misunderstanding of how the plate interaction type lead to the event described.
Good

Includes 2 known features that represent each of the 5 boundary types. 3 of the event descriptions showed misunderstanding of how the plate interaction type lead to the event described.
Excellent

Includes 2 features that represent each of the 5 boundary types. Descriptions of events show understanding of how each plate interaction lead to the feature described. 1 or less of the 10 interaction descriptions lacked detail/understanding.
