Chapter 7: Natural disasters in Japan

What types of natural disasters do you know?

What do you want to know about natural disasters?

Task

-Do the exercises of the 'start' in your workbook.

-From now on we will work with the geoguide. If possible take it with you OR leave it in your locker and take it during class.

-Have a look in the online environment of the geo. GO to magister and 'leermiddelen'

Lesson 1:

At the end of the lesson you are able to:

1. Explain what the ring of fire is

2.Draw the several directions of plate movement.

Languageaim: Explain what the words: prosperous, eruption, (shape of an) arc and jerky mean.

Forces that change the earth

Exogenic force= 

From the outside

Endogenic force=
from the inside

Japan in the ring of fire

Exogenic

Two exogenic forces:

1. Weathering
2. Erosion
   

Endogenic force: Plate tectonics

Note!!!

Endogenic force: forces from the inside: earthquakes, volcano's.

Exogenic forcen: force from the outside: weathering, erosion.

Convection current

Note!

Convection current

=  the flow of molten rock under the earths crust.

Types of plates

Oceanic plate:

- Very heavy!

Continental plate:

- Lighter than oceanic plate. 

Subduction

The heavy oceanic plate is
 forced under the continental
plate. 

The oceanic plate melts >
 becomes magma

Magma rises to the surface and creates a volcano. 

Plate boundaries

Convergent plate boundary

Because of this movement mountain chains will eventually develop in the regions next to the convergent boundary.

The Alps are an example of such a mountain chain. 

Divergent plate boundary

Two tectonic plates which move apart.

Oceanic ridge

Underwater mountains formed by a divergent plate boundary.

Transform plate boundary

Where 2 tectonic plates slide alongside each other .

Earthquakes are common

Draw the directions of plate movement

1.Convergent

2.Divergent

3.Transform

Fill in the blanks: Apply the words Prosperous, Jerky, Eruption ,Arc, Volcano

Japan is a ...1......country in East Asia. It is part of the ring of fire 
The ring of fire is an....2.....shaped ring around the pacific plate. Along the plate boundaries you can find multiple......3.....

They ......4.....when magma rises in the subductionzone.

Plates collide not always very smooth, normally they have ....5.....movements and earthquakes are created.

 

19-11 What are we going to do today?

• First of all: i cannot talk properly. So...no long speeches from me today.
• Secondly: lets start were we stopped last time. Take out your laptop and join the lessonup to answer some questions.
• Than we will see a film in dutch and i will hand you an assignment.

Task

Paragraph 1 excersises 1 to 7

Lessonup questions

Now you are able to:

1. Explain what the ring of fire is

2.Draw the several directions of plate movement.

Languageaim: Explain what the words: prosperous, eruption, (shape of an) arc and jerky mean.

What is the driving force behind plate tectonics?

1. Convection currents
2. Sea
3. Mantle
4. Lava

Rain is an example of an

1. endogenic force
2. exogenic force

An earthquake is an ... force

1. endogenic
2. exogenic

Divergent

Convergent

Transform
