Date Session # 10/30 & 10/31 2 3) Activity Plate Tectonics Note Guide Get your homework out to be checked! Page # 3 Igneous Metamorphic Sedimentary Where would you most likely find this type of rock? Where would you find? Where would you find? Based on how it is formed and where it is located, what information could you get from this type of rock? What info could you get? What info could you get? QUICK REVIEW… Layers Earth of the Crust (2 types) Mantle Outer Core Inner Core Earth’s crust and the very top of the mantle form the lithosphere Lithosphere sits on top of the asthenosphere HOW??? LAW OF UNIFORMITARIANISM Law of Uniformitarianism: States that Earth is an always changing place The same forces of change are at work today that were at work in the past. Some changes are gradual; some changes are fast. T-CHART: SLOW CHANGES VS. FAST CHANGES SINKHOLES http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUjo3K_00tY Whether you categorize them as a fast or slow change, they seem to be getting more common…WHY? SOME THINGS HAPPEN SLOWLY, WHILE OTHERS HAPPEN QUICKLY, BUT WHAT THEY BOTH HAVE IN COMMON IS THEY STEM FROM ONE COMMON MOVEMENT …BUT MOVEMENT OF WHAT???? HINT: TECTONIC PLATES The Lithosphere is broken into many large and small slabs of rock called tectonic plates and where two plates meet, a lot of changes can occur. TECTONIC PLATES The How do the tectonic plates move? plates move because of convection currents. The hot, soft rock in the mantle rises…then it cools, and sinks. TECTONIC PLATES There are 3 types of plate boundaries 1. Divergent 2. Convergent 3. Transform SUBDUCTION When one tectonic plate sinks under another plate What is IT CAN ONLY HAPPEN SUBduction? WHEN… Continental & oceanic plate collide = oceanic plate ALWAYS sinks because it is more DENSE. Oceanic & oceanic plate collide = the older more dense plate sinks! DIVERGENT Key word: Divide DIVERGENT DIVERGENT What occurs at this boundary? New Crust Forms Mid-ocean Ridges Rift Valleys Earthquakes Volcanoes CONVERGENT Key 3 word: Collide types of convergent: Continentalcontinental Oceanic-oceanic Oceanic- continental CONVERGENT: CONTINENTAL-CONTINENTAL CONVERGENT: CONTINENTAL-CONTINENTAL What occurs at this boundary? High mountains Earthquakes CONVERGENT: OCEANIC-OCEANIC CONVERGENT: OCEANIC-OCEANIC What occurs at this boundary? Deep-ocean Trenches Volcanic Islands Earthquakes Hawaii is NOT on a plate boundary! CONVERGENT: OCEANIC- CONTINENTAL CONVERGENT: OCEANIC- CONTINENTAL What occurs at this boundary? Deep-ocean trenches Coastal mountains (some are volcanic) Earthquakes TRANSFORM Key word: Slide TRANSFORM TRANSFORM What occurs at this boundary? Faults Earthquakes PLATE MOTION SIMULATION http://www.sepuplhs .org/middle/iaes/stud ents/simulations/SE PUP_Plate_simulati on.swf HOMEWORK: REAL WORLD EXAMPLES & PICTURES You can start by using the textbook/technology to search for a real-world example you can copy into your chart. When you go home, please print or draw a picture (drawings better be good!) to put in the box of that real-world example WARM-UP 1) 2) Write your homework – leave it to be stamped! Update your Table of Contents for today’s activities. Date Session # 11/4 & 11/5 3) 4) 3 Activity Page # Milky Way Plate Tectonic Lab (turn in for a formal grade and tape into page 4 when returned) 4 Layers of the Earth Rap Lyrics/Continents Adrift Video Questions 5 Get your homework out to be checked! Get a whiteboard, marker and eraser off the back shelf, and get ready for a review! REAL-WORLD EXAMPLES DIVERGENT BOUNDARY Mid-Ocean Ridges like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge REAL-WORLD EXAMPLES Continental-Continental Convergent High Mountains like the Himalayas REAL-WORLD EXAMPLES Oceanic-Oceanic Convergent Deep-ocean trenches like the Mariana Trench REAL-WORLD EXAMPLES Continental-Oceanic Convergent Coastal mountains like the Andes Mountains on the coast of South America REAL-WORLD EXAMPLES Transform Boundary Faults, like the San Andreas Fault in California WHITE BOARD QUICK TICKET REVIEW Answer each question on the whiteboard ON YOUR OWN! I will come around and check your answers – YOU GET ONE CHANCE, and if you are correct you will get a ticket! ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS Draw and label the 4 main layers of the Earth: What were the 2 type of crust? ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS Explain why the Earth’s interior is separated into these layers: • DENSITY • Materials they are each made up of • The forces by which Earth was formed ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS Which 2 layers make up the lithosphere? Crust • Mantle • Which layer does the lithosphere sit on top of? • Asthenosphere ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS Why is the inner core solid if it is so hot? • Because it is under so much intense PRESSURE from the other layers sitting on top of it. ESSENTIAL QUESITONS If new crust is created at divergent boundaries, then why doesn’t Earth get any bigger? • SUBDUCTION! As new crust is formed at a divergent boundary, old crust is being melted down at convergent boundaries where subduction is occurring. New crust is being “created” at the same rate that old crust is being “destroyed.” • Earth recycles itself! REVIEW: PLATE TECTONICS Please turn to your Plate Boundaries Chart so you can reference it during the mini lab activity! REVIEW: MILKY WAY PLATE TECTONICS LAB We will be doing a mini-lab with Milky Way bars to further demonstrate your understanding of plate tectonics and the features formed by plate movement.

Date Session # 11/6 & 11/7 4 Activity The Story of Earth’s History Foldable 6 Sea-floor Spreading Lab 7 HOMEWORK: Continental Drift/Columbian Exchange Article & Questions 4) Page # 8 Pick up the supplies on the front counter that are listed on the front whiteboard! REMEMBER… It is the movement of the tectonic plates that cause the majority of changes on Earth. Some changes happen quickly, while others happen slowly, but none have been more Earth changing than this… HOW? EARTH’S HISTORY FOLDABLE Fold the 2 pieces of copy paper as shown. Label each flap as you see in the picture. The Story of Earth’s History Pangaea Continental Drift Sea Floor Spreading & Magnetic Reversal PANGAEA Scientist Alfred Wegener noticed that Earth’s continents seemed to fit together like a puzzle, so he hypothesized that they were once joined in a single “super continent” called Pangaea CONTINENTAL DRIFT This led to his Theory of Continental Drift – that although the continents were once joined, they slowly drifted apart! Wegener’s Evidence: 1. Matching rock layers on different continents 2. Matching fossils on different continents 3. Evidence of climate change – tropical plant fossils in cold places, ice scratches in warm places SEA FLOOR SPREADING The sea floor spreads apart at divergent boundaries and forms new crust as well as features such as Mid-Ocean ridges The rock closest to the crack is the youngest while the rock further from the crack is older MAGNETIC REVERSALS Minerals in the magma that rises through the cracks in the sea floor align themselves with Earth’s magnetic poles (North and South) As the rock cools, the minerals stay fixed in this position, like a compass Earth’s poles periodically reverse. The “stripes” of rock along the ocean floor record these reversals. SEA-FLOOR SPREADING http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyMLlLxbfa4 SEA FLOOR SPREADING SIMULATION Read the “Introduction to Sea Floor Spreading” silently to yourself or with your partner. Quickly color & cut out your sea floor strip and tape the “orange” ends together – 5 minutes! Cut Slits A, B & C as demonstrated! SEA FLOOR SPREADING LAB Thread the “blue” ends up through Slit B from the bottom Pull one side down through Slit A and the other down through Slit C Answer the questions on your lab guide NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC – “COLLIDING CONTINENTS” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCSJNBMOjJs The BIG QUESTIONS: …will the continents be connected again? …what will Earth be like hundreds of millions of years in the future? …how did Earth form in the first place? (last 5 minutes of video) WARM-UP 1) 2) Write your homework – leave it to be stamped! Update your Table of Contents for today! Date Session # 11/8 & 11/12 3) 4) 5 Activity Page # Hawaii…How? & Hot Spot Notes 9 Mapping the Hawaiian Islands 10 Vocabulary Practice Quiz 11 Get your homework out to be checked! Get your “Story of Earth’s History” foldable out as well! QUICK REVIEW What is the former “supercontinent” called? Why is it called Pangaea? The idea that the continents had slowly moved is called…? Who was the scientist that proposed the idea of both Pangaea & Continental Drift? Why didn’t people believe him? What did he use as evidence to prove his theory? What LAND FORM was later discovered on the ocean floor that supported his theory? QUICK REVIEW This land form was created by which process? We further discovered that the oldest rock was located…? And the youngest rock was located…? Not only were there age patterns, but patterns of what else? Which scientist is responsible for the discovery of the Mid-Ocean Ridge & SeaFloor Spreading? MAGNETIC REVERSAL DEMO REMEMBER… Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field Earth’s magnetic field, and magnetic poles, reverse and those reversals are recorded in the minerals of the sea floor What do you think the effects of a magnetic reversal could be? HOT SPOTS! Read Hawaii…How? Should get taped to the top of page 9 HOT SPOTS! What is the Earth’s outer crust made up of? Where can a volcano form? What plate are the Hawaiian Islands on? Are they at a plate boundary or a hot spot? What is a hot spot? Does a hot spot move? So what is moving? How many islands has this hot spot formed to make the Hawaiian Island chain? HOT SPOTS Hot spots occur far from plate boundaries. Magma rises and weakens and eventually melts through the crust above it. As the plate moves, the hot spot remains, creating a series of volcanic islands or volcanoes. Hot spots help measure plate movement because the hot spot stays in one place while the plate above it moves. HOT SPOT VIDEO Discovery Education: Hot Spots – The Formation of the Hawaiian Islands HOT SPOT DEMO As you watch the demo write a a 3-4 sentence description of what you see happening: - Analyze the movement of the screen… - What does the screen represent? - What does the shaving cream represent? - What does the side view look like? STEP 1: MAPPING THE HAWAIIAN HOT SPOTS! 1) Use the latitude and longitude coordinates to locate each of the Hawaiian islands on the map 2) Plot each island on the map – label it with the name LATITUDE & LONGITUDE REVIEW Latitude – latitude lines are the horizontal lines that are measured by how far North or South they are of the Equator (0) – usually written first Longitude – longitude lines are the vertical lines that are measured by how far East or West they are of the Prime Meridian (0) – usually written second Using latitude and longitude is very similar to using the X, Y coordinates on a graph STEP 2: CALCULATING THE RATE OF MOVEMENT Basic Formula: velocity = distance / time Example for Midway Island: Step 1: Convert the age into millions of years How do we turn 27.7 into millions of years? 27.7 x 1,000,000 = 27,700,000 Step 2: Plug the numbers into the formula Velocity = 2,432 km / 27,700,000 years = 0.00008779km/yr Step 3: Convert km/yr to cm/yr (there are 100,000 cm in a km) 0.00008779 x 100,000 = 8.78 cm/yr!
