How is the Earth's Surface Changing?

What we have learned in Lesson 1...

• Volcanoes and EQs tend to occur on coastlines/edges of land.

• The Earth's is broken into several large pieces that we call plates.

• The majority of volcanoes and EQs occur in the cracks between the plates.

Poll

I understand and see that volcanoes (shown in red) and EQs (shown in yellow) tend to happen in the same areas.

• Yes, I see this pattern

• No, I do not see this pattern.

Open Ended

Why do you think that most volcanoes and EQs occur in the cracks between the plates and not in the middle of the plates?

LT: I can use evidence to make a claim on what the Earth has looked like in the past.

• I understand that the Earth is broken into plates.

• I can explain 1 piece of evidence that shows that the plates have moved.

• I can use a piece of evidence to support a claim on what the Earth used to look like.

How did the Earth look different in the past?

Continental Drift

• Alfred Wegener

• All continents were together in one SUPERCONTINENT named Pangaea

Poll

Do you think Alfred Wegener's theory makes sense?

• Yes, I totally think the continents were once all together.

• No, he's nuts!

This time it will be your real group. You need to assign the following jobs

• Reader - This person will read the text out loud to the group.

• Presenter - This person will explain to the whole group what you read about.

• Writer - This person will type the answers into the slide.

• Manager - This person keeps everyone on task and focused on the goal.

• If you have an extra person, add another reader and have the readers take turns.
