A-A' Cross Section Image Description: Imagine a vertical slice through the Ear

A-A' Cross Section Image Description: Imagine a vertical slice through the Earth's crust and upper mantle. - Top: Start with a thick layer representing the continental crust. Use a dotted pattern to represent it. - Below: Draw a thinner layer representing the oceanic crust. Use a striped pattern for this layer. - Below that: Draw a large layer representing the mantle. Use a shaded pattern for this layer. - Below the mantle: Draw a final layer representing the asthenosphere. Use a grid pattern for this layer. Features to Add: - Subduction Zone (SZ): At the point where the oceanic crust meets the continental crust, draw a curved line to represent the subduction zone. The oceanic crust should be bending downwards beneath the continental crust. - Trench: Above the subduction zone, draw a deep, narrow depression in the oceanic crust to represent the trench. - Volcanic Arc (VA): On the continental crust, above the subduction zone, draw a chain of volcanoes to represent the volcanic arc. - Earthquakes (EQ): Along the subduction zone, draw small symbols to represent earthquakes. - Volcanism (V): Near the volcanic arc, draw symbols to represent volcanism. - Melting Occurs (M): Along the subducting oceanic crust, draw symbols to represent melting. - Mid-Ocean Ridge (MOR): You can optionally add a small mountain range on the oceanic crust to represent the mid-ocean ridge. Arrow: Add an arrow pointing towards the continental crust to represent the direction of plate motion. Coloring: You can use different colors for each layer to make the image more visually appealing.
