1. Plate Tectonics What is it? What does it cause?

2. Table of Contents DateTitleLesson # 8/26Spatial Analysis1 8/275 Themes of Geography2 8/28The 5 A’s3 8/31Geographer’s Tools4 9/1Internal Forces5 1. Draw a line underneath wherever you left off yesterday. 2. Write the title “Internal Processes”

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. TertiaryQuartenary – 1.8 million years ago to present

9. CHAMPs System This system is used to set up classroom procedures for each activity. Directions: Turn to the front section of your notebook where your other CHAMPs charts are located.

10. C - Conversation Can I talk? If yes to whom? How loud? How will I know when to be silent?

11. ConversationYes, whisper, to help kids, be on task Activity  LAPTOPS

12. H - Help If I need help what do I do? Where do I look? Is it ok to help others when I am finished? What does that look like?

13. ConversationYes, whisper, to help kids, be on task HelpOrso, notebook, text, other kids Activity  Focus

21. Plate Tectonics In motion… 1. Task  Sketch a picture demonstrating the theory of plate tectonics.

22. Effects of Plate Tectonics What happens as a result of plate tectonic theory? Directions: Record the notes on each effect of plate tectonics. Complete all tasks.

23. Effects of Plate Tectonics 2. Effect: Mountains – when plates COLLIDE the land is forced upward

24. Himalayas Forming 3. Task – View the link in the headline. Explain how the Himalayas were formed.

25. Effects of Plate Tectonics 4. Volcanoes – magma is forced upward when ocean plates collide with continental plates RECORD THESE NOTES

26. Ring of Fire =

27. 5. Ring of Fire - zone around the Pacific Ocean where 8 plates meet - tons of volcanoes and earthquakes RECORD THESE NOTES

28. Effects of Plate Tectonics 6. Earthquakes – as plates collide and rub together earthquakes occur Most recent quakes along San Andreas fault Earthquakes occurring right now Check out San Andreas fault View each of link and use the information to answer the questions on the following slide. RECORD THESE NOTES

29. Earthquake Questions 7. What causes earthquakes? 8. Where do most earthquakes occur? 9. What are some effects of earthquakes? RECORD THESE QUESTIONS AND ANSWER EACH ONE.
