Day 10- Introduction to Plate Tectonics
On pages 36 and 37, insert your Plate Tectonic vocabulary. In the chart, make sure to define all the vocabulary words in your own words and draw pictures for each vocabulary word. All pictures must be in color, or you will only receive half credit.
On pages 38 to 41, inset the PLATE TECTONICS ARTICLE. Read the article using the Mountie 5.
One pages 42 and 43, inter the PLATE BOUNDARY TYPES RESEARCH QUESTIONS and answer all the question sin complete sentences.

Day 11- Seafloor Spreading
2 labs have been set out for you to complete: Seafloor Spreading- Divergent Plate Boundaries and Sea Floor Spreading Student Activity Kit.
Day 12- Pangaea Breakup
Complete the lab: A Voyage Through Time- Pangaea Breakup and Continent/Plate Movement.
Day 13- Explosive Action
On page 44 of your notebook, add the questions from the Bill Nye Video about volcanoes. The questions can be found below, and the link to the video is found through the button above.
- According to Bill, why are volcanoes such a big deal?
- Describe the different types of volcano eruptions.
- How was Hawai’i formed?
- How does the land change from new land to an established landscape?
- Describe the different shapes of volcanoes, and how they are formed.
- What is the different between an active volcano, a dormant volcano, and an extinct volcano?
Day 14- Theory of Plate Tectonics
On pages 46 and 47 of your notebook, answer the following questions:
- How does evidence that sea-floor rocks farther from a ride are older than rocks closer to the ridge support the idea of sea-floor spreading?
- Explain how sea-floor spreading gives an explanation about how continents may move over Earth's surface?
- Summarize the idea of plate tectonics.
- Explain why most earthquakes and volcanoes happen along plate boundaries.
- Identify and describe the three major types of plate boundaries.
- Compare the changes in Earth's Surface that happen at convergent boundaries versus divergent boundaries.
- How do convergent boundaries add material to Earth's surface?
- The interior parts o continents generally have drier climates tan coastal areas. How does this possibly explain why scientists believe that the climate on Pangaea may have been drier than modern times?
