Unit 1 - Book 6 - Restless Earth

Today's Lesson 

To do:

- Layers of the Earth 

- Plate tectonics 

- Different movements

Goals: 

- You know the three layers of the Earth 
- You know what happens when plates move.

- You know the different names 

What are the names of the plate movements?

Divergent means a plate is....

Moving towards another plate

Moving away from another plate

Sliding past another plate

Convergent means a plate is....

Moving towards another plate

Moving away from another plate

Sliding past another plate

Transform means a plate is....

Moving towards another plate

Moving away from another plate

Sliding past another plate

Oceanic plates are lighter than continental plates

True

False

Remember: plate tectonics 

Earthquakes

Earthquakes

Volcanoes

Volcanoes

Tsunami

Trench (kloof)

Mountains

Note: What forms where?

Divergent: 
Moving away --> Trench (kloof/geul) + magma can rise 
and form small but peaceful volcanoes.

In between of the two plates, new land 
is formed when the magma cools.

Note: What forms where?

Convergent: 

Moving towards --> plates crash
--> Earthquakes / volcanoes

Mountains can form on land or 
volcanoes are formed when pieces
of the plate start to melt and rise up.

Note: What forms where?

Transform:

Moving past each other / sliding.
--> Earthquakes 

Plates that slide next to each other
might get stuck. Tension (spanning)

builds and when it 'snaps', 
an Earthquake can happen. 

Homework

Find 5 facts about Earthquakes or volcanoes (or both) and write them down in your notebook.
