"EXPLAIN CALIFORNIA’S CURRENT SEISMIC (TECTONIC) SITUATION" Note that you do not need to include the "Basin & Range Extension" in your essay. As such, there are three main components specific to California that you can write about: the Transform Plate Boundary, Converging Plate Boundary, and Diverging Plate Boundary. Since a traditional college-level essay of 5 paragraphs includes an introduction, 3 body paragraphs, and a conclusion, you can write one body paragraph on each of the three plate boundaries that are part of California's current tectonic situation (as discussed in lecture). And, be sure to include some of the key points made in the video lectures and Canvas course content, such as forces involved, plates involved, type of motion, location, resultant features on the landscape, etc.
