1.) Know your vocabulary – use your note cards/foldable.
2.) Make a list of pros and cons for storing waste at Yucca Mountain.
Activity 36 & 49; Student Sheet 36.1.
3.) Make a diagram of the three major types of volcanoes, give
characteristics of each.
eservices B90-91, Act. 38.
4.) Know the layers of the Earth, including the lithosphere, know their
approx. thickness and if they are liquid or solid. How far in km to the
center of the Earth.
Act. 38, Student Sheet 38.2 “Talking Drawing: Beneath the
Earth’s Surface, eservices B10-12.
5.) What is Continental Drift? Who first proposed the idea? List three
pieces of evidence that support it.
Act. 41, Student Sheet 41.1 “Analyzing Evidence: Continental
Drift”.
6.) What is Plate Tectonics? How is it different than Continental Drift?
How is it the same?
