2/16 I can: analyze the risk of an earthquake occurring in each state in the US. Warm-up: How many tectonic plates is the Earth’s crust broken into? Class activities CE p.22-25: EQ Epicenter & Mercalli Scale Use CE p.143, 146-147 Standard- 6-8 ES2F The crust is composed of huge crustal plates on the scale of continents and oceans which move centimeters per year, pushed by convection in the upper mantle, causing earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains. Key vocabulary: Seafloor spreading, plate tectonics, plate, lithosphere, asthenosphere, continental drift, fault, earthquake
