Name_____________________________ Class Period________ Shifting Plates Choice Boards Directions: You and your partner will choose two topics from the Shifting Plates Choice Board. Along with researching the topics, you and your partner will choose a product to create for each topic. You may only use one product once. CHOICE BOARDS DUE ! Topics ***This must be one of your choices The different layers of Earth Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics Theory *Types of Movements at the plate boundaries (divergent, convergent, and transform) and what forms at each boundary. Create a map of the world showing the world’s major tectonic plate boundaries; Label 10 active volcanoes. Types of volcanoes: fissure, shield, ashcinder, composite, dome, caldera Earthquake safety and preparation Historic earthquakes and volcanic eruptions Detecting and predicting the movement of Earth’s plates Diagrams and maps with tables Pictures and drawings Models with description cards Short story or poem Poster or brochure Board game or card game Children’s book Newspaper article Free choice The “Ring of Fire” Products Name_____________________________ Class Period________ Shifting Plates Choice Boards: Questions and Ideas The following are questions for each topic that you and your partner should answer within your project and ideas to use for your project: The Different Layers of Earth Analyze how scientists know that earth has four major layers when we can only dig down 20 km (or approximately 13 miles), that is only through the top part of the crust! How is the earth affected by the influence of man? Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics Theory Prove or disprove the continental drift and the plate tectonics theory. Design a method that would test the validity of the continental drift and plate tectonics theory. Types of Movement at the plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, transform Describe a model that you might use to represent the relationships that exist between the three types of movements at the plate boundaries. Apply what you know about the three types of movements at the plate boundaries and create models of the different geological formations that occur as a result of these movements. Plate Tectonics and the Formation of Mountains, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes How is the earth affected by these long-term and short term geological cycles? Describe a model that you might use to represent the relationships that exist between plate tectonics and the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes. Types of Volcanoes: fissure, shield, ash-cinder, composite, dome, caldera Investigate how the different types of volcanoes are formed. Show the differences between the different types of volcanoes, including if some are more dangerous than others. The “Ring of Fire” Examine and create the “Ring of Fire” and explain why the “Ring of Fire” occurred. Besides volcanoes, hypothesize and investigate what other geological occurrences the “Ring of Fire” has produced. Earthquake Safety and Preparation Critique current earthquake safety procedures and preparations. Justify why current procedures are good or why and how they could be improved. Create your own method of preparing people for an earthquake and keeping them safe. Historic Earthquakes and Volcanic Eruptions Draw conclusions as to why the largest continental United States earthquakes occurred in or around California? Though most volcanoes are mountains, most mountains are not volcanoes, why not? Detecting and Predicting the Movement of Earth's Plates Explain how people benefit when the movement of the earth's plates are predicted and detected. Describe the steps involved in detecting and predicting the movement of earth's plates.
