The students will be able to illustrate the connection between plate boundaries, tectonic activity, and the depth and location of earthquakes (also known as seismic events) with an emphasis in Alaska.epeat until the outlines of the plates are apparent. B. Building an illustrative tectonic map of Alaska 1. To build an illustrative tectonic map of Alaska given, instruct each group of students to plot a different set of earthquakes from the list downloaded or provided.
