3. Internal Forces – processes that happen inside the earth that change the land
Example – volcanoes, earthquakes

4. Clip: 1. What are plates? 2. Explain plate tectonics.

5. Rodinia, the oldest supercontinent for which we have some record, formed during the middle Proterozoic (~ 1100 million years ago) with North America in the center, South America to the east, and Australia and Antarctica to the west.

6. Theory of Continental Drift
1. The earth was once a supercontinent called Pangaea.
WRITE THE HEADLINE, RECORD 1-3 FOR YOUR INTRO

7. 2. The continents slowly drifted apart over millions of years.
Jurrassic Period
Cretaceous Period

8. 3. The plates drifted and crashed into each other.
Tertiary
Quartenary – 1.8 million years
ago to present

9. 1. Write Plate Tectonics Tasks in the center of your page. Number 1-9.
2. Turn to your CHAMPs section in the front of your notebook. Copy the Laptops CHAMPs chart as I go over it. When you are finished show an adult the chart and get it approved. Once your chart is approved you may get a laptop. You will need a partner as well.
