To describe a gas, you could say:

• The particles are very attracted to each other

• The particles do not move, only vibrate.

• The particles are close together like a liquid

• The particles of a gas are further apart than the particles in a liquid or solid

All changes of the state of matter requires:

• Condensation

• Vibration

• Energy

• Water

Analyze the map to answer the following question. How do patterns in earthquake data compare to the patterns in volcanic data? Select all that apply.

• The shallow parts of the ocean had the most earthquakes and volcanoes.

• Some islands have both volcanoes and earthquakes. 

• Earthquakes and volcanoes overlap in some places. 

• Earthquakes are far more common than volcanoes and are especially frequent where there are larger numbers of volcanoes.

Analyze the map to answer the following question. Where are the places in the world where the earthquake or volcanic activity does not seem to fit the patterns you identified? Select all that apply.  MS-ESS2-2 MS-ESS3-2

• There are many earthquakes and some volcanoes that occur in the middle of the ocean and in the center of Europe.

• There are earthquakes but no volcanoes in Australia.

• There are several volcanoes in northern Africa but very few earthquakes.

• South America has more volcanoes than earthquakes.

Knowing that earthquake and volcanic activity help us to see where the edges of plates are located, what can we conclude about plates based on the patterns we have seen so far? Select all that apply.

• There are many plates of different shapes and sizes that make up the Earth’s surface.

• The plates are defined by the continents. The continent boundaries are the plate boundaries.

• Continents do not define plates - both continent and ocean can be a part of a plate.

• There are many wide gaps or spaces between the plates.
