U2:Trigger Activity Sept. 6, 2011  Objective: You will create 2 puzzles (one with small pieces and one with large pieces).  Put the title and date on pgs. 24-25 in your notebook.  Using 2 pieces of notebook paper, draw a simple picture.  Cut one picture into large puzzle pieces.  Cut the other picture into small puzzle pieces.

5. U2:Trigger Activity Sept. 6, 2011  Write a hypothesis in your notebook on pg. 25 about which puzzle will go back together with less trouble. “If I put together the puzzle with…then I will be able to get all the pieces to fit.”  Put pieces together.  Write a statement after your hypothesis to explain if your hypothesis was supported or not and why.

6. U2:Trigger Activity Sept. 6, 2011  Homework:  Look at a map of the globe and answer the following question on pg. 24 of your notebook: Which coastlines might once have been joined together?  Answer in a STATEMENT not a paragraph.  What evidence from today’s activity helped you answer this question?

16. Types of Mountains 10-4 (NB44-45)  Folded Mountains  Examples: Rocky Mountains, The Alps  Created by compression at convergent boundaries http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVyBsUgD7Gk&feature=results_ main&playnext=1&list=PL957C73D6B68723E3  Fault-Block Mountains  Example: Basin and Range Province in western and southwestern U.S.  Created by tension at divergent boundaries – crust pulls apart to form a fault and large blocks of crust slide up or down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_WYpKNfsnY&feature=relate d

17. Types of Mountains 10-4 (NB44-45)  Uplifted Mountains  Example: Sierra Nevada Mountains  Volcanic Mountains  Examples: Mt. St. Helens, Hawaiian Islands  Formed by sitting over a hotspot or by subduction of an oceanic plate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf4iJvrAv-M

18.  Transform Faults  Occurs when plates at a divergent boundary slide horizontally to each other, perpendicular to the ridge/rift  http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=transform+faul t&view=detail&mid=9052C44400F3A614F8499052 C44400F3A614F849&first=0&FORM=LKVR http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=transform+faul t&view=detail&mid=9052C44400F3A614F8499052 C44400F3A614F849&first=0&FORM=LKVR

19.  Fault Zones  Occur when plates slide past each other, shearing and causing smaller faults to form perpendicular to the main fault

20.  As you read through chapter 9, write questions on sticky notes (front table and back counter).  Imagine yourself teaching either earthquakes or volcanoes. What do you think is important for students to know? (Use this to guide your question writing).  Do you have any project ideas for this chapter that could help answer the BIG IDEA question (see your AHA Connections pages for Geologic Events)?
