2 How is the Earth Changing?

3 Activity 1.1 Worldwide Pattern of What do you see in the picture? Volcanoes

4 Activity 1.1 Worldwide Pattern of Volcanoes What do you know or have you heard about volcanoes? Where do you think volcanoes are usually found?

5 Activity 1.1 Worldwide Pattern of Volcanoes Let s watch a brief movie clip to get a little experience with volcanoes.

6 Activity 1.1 Worldwide Pattern of Volcanoes Click the Earth Science 3 box. Click Lesson 1 Where is the Earth changing? Click Activity 1 Worldwide Pattern of Volcanoes This is your interactive student portal. Wait for instructions.

7 Activity 1.1 Worldwide Pattern of Volcanoes Each red dot symbolizes a location where a volcano has erupted in past 10,000 years.

8 Activity 1.1 Worldwide Pattern of Volcanoes How are volcanoes located in relation to each other? Are they close together or spread out? What patterns do you see in how they are arranged?

9 Activity 1.1 Worldwide Pattern of Volcanoes Where are volcanoes located in relation to continents? What ideas do you have about why volcanoes appear in these particular places?

10 Activity 1.1 Worldwide Pattern of Volcanoes What patterns do you see in where volcanoes are located on the Earth?

11 Activity 1.1 Worldwide Pattern of Volcanoes Make sure that you submit your work to be graded.

12 Activity 1.2 Worldwide Pattern of Earthquakes Log in to the IQWST site. Go to Lesson 1 Activity 1.2. Wait for instructions.

13 Activity 1.2 Worldwide Pattern of Earthquakes What do you know or have you heard about earthquakes? Where do you think earthquakes typically occur? Answer the predict question in your student portal.

14 Activity 1.2 Worldwide Pattern of Earthquakes This diagram shows the locations where earthquakes have occurred around the world. It represents medium (magnitude ) and large (magnitude ) earthquakes spanning 9 years between

15 Activity 1.2 Worldwide Pattern of Earthquakes Use the above image of Earthquake Locations to complete the procedure and making sense #1-3 portion of the interactive student portal.

16 Activity 1.2 Worldwide Pattern of Earthquakes What patterns did you see in locations where earthquakes have occurred on the earth?

17 Activity 1.2 Worldwide Pattern of Earthquakes Where do earthquakes occur in relation to each other? What patterns do you see in how they are arranged?

18 Activity 1.2 Worldwide Pattern of Earthquakes Where do earthquakes occur in relation to the continents?

19 Activity 1.2 Worldwide Pattern of Earthquakes Look at the two images above, what do you notice about the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes? Be as descriptive as possible and complete #4-6 under making sense in the student portal.

20 Activity 1.2 Worldwide Pattern of Earthquakes How do the patterns in earthquakes compare to the patterns in volcanoes? Why do you think we see earthquakes and volcanoes in similar locations?

21 Activity 1.2 Worldwide Pattern of Earthquakes What prior knowledge do you have of earthquakes and volcanoes? Volcanoes and earthquakes are examples of ways that the earth is changing.

22 Activity 1.2 Worldwide Pattern of Earthquakes Driving Question Board The driving question will always be the unit title. Is an open-ended question that uses everyday language to describe the purpose of the unit It is your END IN MIND!!!! (Where are we going?)

23 Activity 1.2 Worldwide Pattern of Earthquakes The driving question for this unit is How is the Earth Changing? This question is about the mechanisms or processes that account for such changes. Now, complete #7 in the interactive student portal and then submit your work for the day.

24 Reading 1.2 We are going to use the RAHA reading strategy. You will be reading, annotating, highlighting, and answering questions about the reading. You MUST read, annotate, highlight, and answer on the paper copy of the article. Your END IN MIND in reading this article: What types of data do scientists use to predict when volcanoes might erupt?

25 Activity 1.3 Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and World Elevation Log in to the IQWST site. Go to Lesson 1 Activity 1.3. Wait for instructions.

26 Activity 1.3 Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and World Elevation You may have noticed much more volcano and earthquake activity in some areas than others. What do you think Earth looks like in these areas?

27 Activity 1.3 Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and World Elevation Your END IN MIND today is To compare patterns in elevation with patterns of earthquakes and volcanoes.

28 Activity 1.3 Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and World Elevation This image shows how high different parts of the earth are compared to each other.

29 Activity 1.3 Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and World Elevation Lighter areas are higher, darker areas are lower.

30 Activity 1.3 Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and World Elevation Complete the predict, procedure, and making sense sections of the interactive student portal.

31 Activity 1.3 Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and World Elevation What patterns did you see in elevation where we saw high earthquake and volcanic activity?

32 Activity 1.3 Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and World Elevation How are these areas similar or different in terms of elevation?

33 Activity 1.3 Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and World Elevation Are there other patterns you see where high levels of volcanic and earthquake activity occur?

34 Activity 1.3 Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and World Elevation Why do you think we often see high or low elevation in areas of high earthquake and volcanic activity?

35 Activity 1.3 Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and World Elevation What do you think causes the earthquakes/volcanoes/elevation?

36 Activity 1.3 Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and World Elevation When we see large areas where there are few or no earthquakes or volcanoes, why do you think there is less activity in those areas?

37 Activity 1.3 Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and World Elevation On Earth there appears to be features that occur in clusters. Could it be possible that some features occur in clusters on Earth because of a similar cause?

38 Activity 1.3 Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and World Elevation Ready for Introducing Ideas about Plates p. 18
