• Rolling off the bed

• Sudden shaking of the Earth surface

• Quicksand

Open Ended

What patterns do you see on the maps?

Multiple Choice

Where do earthquakes occur in relation to plate boundaries? (Look in the boxes)

• Earthquakes occur on the plate boundaries

• Earthquakes occur only in the ocean

• Earthquakes occur only on land

Poll

Does there seem to be a pattern or connection between the locations of plate boundaries and earthquakes?

• Yes

• No

Open Ended

What do you think the pattern can tell us about the plates that make up Earth’s outer layer?

Multiple Choice

Earthquakes are caused by plate motion. The plates are constantly moving, and this sometimes causes sudden shaking at the surface.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

Plate motion is caused by earthquakes that push the plates around.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

An earthquake is…

• the slow plate motion that is constantly happening to the plates.

• the sudden shaking of Earth's surface.

• the reason that plates have any motion.

• a mild geologic hazard.

Multiple Choice

What is a plate boundary?

• The single point where Earth's plates have motion.

• The place along which two plates meet.

• Long lines on the ground that cause the plates to move.

• The only location on Earth where earthquakes are possible.

Multiple Choice

The pieces that make up Earth's surface are called…?

• Jigsaw puzzle

• Pattern

• Plate boundary

• Tectonic Plates

Multiple Choice

Which is the best definition of a "plate" in this unit?

• The parts of Earth's outer layer that rise up above the ocean water.

• The small pieces of solid rock that float in the ocean, forming islands and continents.

• The single, undivided sheet of hard, solid rock that covers the planet.

• One of the large sections of hard, solid rock that make up Earth's outer layer.

Multiple Choice

The team is drilling underground at sites 1 and 2. Where will the team find hard, solid rock?

• They will find hard, solid rock below site 1. At site 2, they will find water and sand.

• They will find hard, solid rock below site 2. At site 1, they will find plants and soil.

• They will find hard, solid rock below both sites.

• They will find hard solid rock at neither of these sites; they will find water below both of them.
