TCSS Earth Systems Unit 2 – Plate Tectonics Information Georgia Performance Standards: SES2. Students will understand how plate tectonics creates certain geologic features, materials, and hazards. a. Distinguish among types of plate tectonic settings produced by plates diverging, converging, and sliding past each other. b. Relate modern and ancient geologic features to each kind of plate tectonic setting. c. Relate certain geologic hazards to specific plate tectonic settings. d. Associate specific plate tectonic settings with the production of particular groups of igneous and metamorphic rocks and mineral resources. e. Explain how plate tectonics creates and destroys sedimentary basins through time. Purpose/Goal(s): To demonstrate how plate tectonics creates certain geological features, materials, and hazards.

Plate Boundary Activity: Activity can serve as a quick lab and allows student to practice the idea of convergent, divergent, and Assessment Concept 1: Sample Assessment Items TCSS Earth Systems Plate Tectonics Unit Information transform boundaries Plates Interior Worksheet: This handout should serve as a review over topics discussed during your lecture on plate tectonics Plate Tectonic Venn Diagram: This Venn Diagram should be used to compare the two ideas of continental drift and plate tectonics Plate Tectonic Activator: Reading comprehension activity discussing the formation of a mud volcano. Plate Tectonics Puzzle: Activity that will allow students to visualize the concept of continental drift and plate tectonics. Continental Drift Map: Lab based activity that allows students to observe all the supercontinents that have existed and how they changed over time. Plate Tectonics Latitude and Longitude Activity (Use World Map): Students will plot on a world map volcanic eruptions and earthquakes so they can see the correlation between where they occur and the location of the plates. TCSS Earth Systems Plate Tectonics Unit Information Concept, Essential Question(s), and Standard(s) Concept 2: Volcanism and Earthquakes EQ1: What cause volcanos to erupt and the earth to shake? SES2. Students will understand how plate tectonics creates certain geologic features, materials, and hazards. c. Relate certain geologic hazards to specific plate tectonic settings. Vocabulary Essential* Geologic Hazard Supplemental** Caldera Cinder Cone Composite Volcano Fissure Hot Spot Shield Volcano Vent Volcanism Viscosity Dike Pluton Sill Stock Epicenter Fault Focus Amplitude Magnitude Richter Scale Tsunami *Essential vocabulary listed in the GPS Standards **Supplemental vocabulary listed in the state frameworks and/or other state document Resources [Back to Top] PowerPoints: Chapter 18 Volcanic Activity Chapter 18 PowerPoint Earthquake Damage PowerPoint Chapter 19 PowerPoint Animations and Videos: Savage Earth Animation Animated Guide Volcanoes Volcanic Eruption from Space (time 1:33) Mt. St. Helens Video (time 6:27) Handouts and Activities: Exploring an Active Volcano: Research based activity where students are put in groups and assigned a specific volcanic eruption. Students will have to answer the following about their volcano: Location, volcano type (shield, strato, etc.), eruption and lava type(s), past and or recent activity, past and future hazards, rock types formed Volcanic Eruptions Project: Research based activity where students are put into groups and assigned a specific volcanic eruption. Students will collect their own data and then present an oral presentation over the specific eruption. Volcano WebQuest: Volcano WebQuest that uses National Geographic Website to reinforce specific concepts covered in your lecture. Earthquake Lab: Students will attempt to design earthquake proof buildings and demonstrate how destructive Earthquakes can be. Plotting Recent Earthquake Activity: Students will use their map skills to track the location of earthquakes and discuss the damage caused by these quakes. Catastrophic Events Activity: Lab based activity where students model natural disasters like volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
