4. Create a pocket on the right hand side of your ISN

5. Glue the following picture on the outside of your pocket

7. Create a foldable
Fold your piece of construction paper in half like a book. Lay it landscape on your desk. Glue the following items onto the front page of your foldable.

8. They also vary in the amount they move over the more flexible layer of the mantle below them.
Earth’s rigid crust is made up of 16 enormous plates called tectonic plates. These plates vary in size and shape.

9. Type of plate movement
Landforms Created
Edge of one plate pushes up over another
Mountains, volcanoes, ocean trenches
Plate crush together, causing edges of both places to crumble and break
Jagged mountain ranges
Plates on ocean floor move apart
New crust, islands
The reasons the continents are labeled the way they are is because of continental drift. Each of the continents is on a different continental plate, therefore as the tectonic plates move, the continents move with them.

10. Sudden Changes
Fault: results when the rocks on one side or both dies of a crack in Earth’s crust have been moved by forces within Earth.
Earthquakes: are caused by plate movement along fault lines. Earthquakes also can be caused by the force of erupting volcanoes.

11. Pacific Plates
Pacific plate lies at the bottom of the ocean. Over time, the edges of these plates were forced under the edges of the plates surrounding the Pacific Ocean.
This plate movement created a long, narrow band of volcanoes called the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire stretches for more than 24,000 miles, 38,624 km, around the Pacific Ocean.

12. Tsunamis
The vibrations of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions transfer energy to the Earth’s surface and into the ocean’s water.
This transfer of energy can create enormous waves to form on the water’s surface. Tsunamis create flooding and wide spread destruction to coastlines and coastal economies.

13. Weathering
Weathering is a process by which Earth’s surface is worn away by forces such as wind, rain, chemicals, and the movement of ice and flowing water. Even plants cause weathering. Plant roots and small seeds can grow into tiny cracks in rock, gradually splitting the rock apart as the roots expand.

14. Erosion
Erosion is a process by which weathered bits of tock are moved elsewhere by water, wind, or ice. Rain and moving water can erode even the hardest stone over time. When material is broken down by weathering, it can easily be carried away by the action of erosion.
