Bell Work Pick a science word and write the definition. Chapter 6, Chapter 2, or glossary

Title of Notes: faults Pg. 28 Goal for lesson (write on self assessment wrksht): I can define a fault and demonstrate what occur at the boundary

Goal for lesson: (Learning target) I’ll know I’ve got it when… I can define a fault and demonstrate what occur at the boundary. Today I am… Learning about how tectonic plates movement leads to geological features. So that I’ll be able to… understand how our geological features formed on Earth. I’ll know I’ve got it when… I can locate a fault on a map and describe to a battle buddy all the events that occur around it.

DEFINITION OF A FAULT The definition of a fault line is a break or fracture in the ground that occurs when the Earth's tectonic plates move or shift and are areas where earthquakes are likely to occur. Usually occur along plate boundaries , where the forces of plate motion compress, pull, or shear the crust so much that the crust breaks.

San Andreas Fault In California lays the San Andreas fault 800 mi. long Tectonic boundary between the Pacific plate and the North Atlantic plate 35°07'N, 119°39'W The fault is a transform boundary

Transform boundary Transform boundary 2 plates are sliding horizontally past one another. Usually appear in ocean floors but a few occur on land such as California

Cascade Volcanoes' Cascade Volcanoes' North America British Colombia Extends about 1,100 km Formed due to subduction along the Cascadia subduction zone Series of volcanoes in North America occur along plate boundaries Each volcano is a link in the chain Cascade Volcanoes' North America British Colombia Washington Oregon Northern California
