II: Plate tectonics shows the features and movement of the Earth. The theory of plate tectonics says that the outer shell of the earth is broken down into pieces often called plates (Korenaga). These plates hover over the mantle creating movement (Marshak). With plate tectonics you can determine the earth’s features without actually seeing it.

Ever since the beginning on time, Humans believed the ground is solid and immobile. But this is not true whatsoever. The Earth is every-changing and continually in motion. The stability of the Earth is not at all what we think it is. Thinking about the rotational axis of the Earth, and possibly of what the Earth may become at a certain point in time, has a great influence on understanding all aspects of living things, either in the past, present, or future. The Theory of Plate tectonics is accredited to most of the creations of Mountain Ranges, the Centennial drifting Theory, for earthquakes, and volcanic activity. Plate tectonics and mountains also play a big part in the Earth and its geological features.

Teaching higher order thinking skills is not a recent need. It is apparent that students, at all levels of education, are lagging in problem-solving and thinking skills. Fragmentation of thinking skills, however, may be the result of critical thinking courses and texts. Every course, especially in content subjects, students should be taught to think logically, analyze and compare, question and evaluate.

Next, geo-process is earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused when two transform plates are pushing past each other until one of the plates slip causing sudden movement under the surface. The sudden movement causes shaking on the earth above the fault. The shaking creates buildings to fall and for cracks to appear on the surface.  “The quake swallowed roads, twisted railway lines and left towns and cities

Understand why people did things, what caused specific events and the consequences of those events Identify differences between ways of life at

Students will be able to describe how matter changed and explain why it changed. (Evaluation: Students were required to form a hypothesis of what would happen when a given liquid were to stay outside all day long in the winter cold and state what happened to the molecules to change the liquid into a solid. Based on what you know, how would you explain why the liquid changed into a solid?)

For millions of years the Earth has experienced geologic catastrophes. Since the existence of Theia itself, the Earth’s crust has been formed, deformed, and even demolished. The crust has never been a completed masterpiece due to this. Why is this? The most recent physical changes were caused by the theory of plate tectonics and earth’s crust displacement. Plate tectonics and its movement resulted in our continents drifting across the earth’s surface, and the creation of mountain belts, volcanoes, and the faults of today’s Earth.

Moving away from the world of campfires and knives, this chapters modeling and instructional strategies will find a way into my classroom. I like the QAR method and the KWL Strategy in particular. The question-answer relationship model hit home because the modeling strategy helps encourage students to become aware of using the QAR strategies. The KWL

To find out what had been happening below the surface, researchers created 3D images of the mantle portion of the North American Plate. Seismologists image the internal part of the Earth by tracing the paths of seismic waves created by earthquakes as they move through the ground. The waves move faster through colder rocks and less quickly through warmer rocks. Rocks cool and harden as they become older, so the faster seismic waves, the older the rock.

Plate tectonics cause earthquakes and volcanos, in parts where two plates meet together that is called plate boundary. Earthquakes and volcanos usually happen on or near plate boundary's. A spatial pattern is an arrangement of features on earths surface. For example the picture below shows the arrangement of the country's on earth. Earthquakes are shown as spatial patterns. A linear pattern is a pattern of lines on earths surface. For example the picture below shows the lines of the tectonic plates. Earthquakes happen on linear

The strategies used to engage students in critical thinking promoted student learning during each assessment. For the first assessment, students were asked to identify and sort pictures of objects into conceptual categories. This assessment addressed the core critical thinking skills of analysis. The student demonstrated an understanding to connect pieces of information together. For example, the students understood that they were sorting leaves into color groups. (The red leaf goes into the red pile to create a category (group) for

Students utilize articles to learn the aspects of waves that impact the earth’s crust in the form of earthquakes. Students simulate these waves using slinkies and calculate wave speed. Students also analyze the possible destructive forces of these waves.

Practically all of the major processes that occur on the surface of the earth are related to plate tectonics. Earthquakes, volcanism, and mountain building are three of the most spectacular earth processes related to tectonic activity, however many other processes like metamorphism, sedimentary rock formation, among others are related directly or indirectly to plate tectonics. In the interactive image below, you can see the relationship between them (Plate Tectonics, 2007).

When Erosion or Weathering erode and weather objects or landforms, it changed the amount of particles in the object by getting rid of some of them. When there are less particles in the object, the shape has to change in order to keep the rest of the particles. When the earth’s crust is eroded or weathered, there are less particles in it, and it changes the shape of the crust, thus changing the earth’s crust. The oceans and freshwater on Earth comes from rain falling into the ocean or freshwater and adding more water to it.

In the book, The Control of Nature by John McPhee, one can see humans in a multitude of locations attempting to control the various aspects of their natural environment. Furthermore, it is clear that the three enduring understandings of Earth Science are present throughout the book as an ongoing theme. The first, the idea that energy, from the Sun and from Earth’s interior, drives all of Earth’s cycles and processes, can be interpreted in many different ways. However, in the different sections of the book, one sees that the Sun can cause weather patterns and can lead to different outcomes. Additionally, the energy, or power, resulting from the intense heat and pressure from the Earth’s interior, can cause volcanic eruptions. As for the idea that matter moves through Earth’s spheres in cyclical processes, over varying periods of time, and at different scales, one can see that water, land, plant matter, and even molten rock come and go in a definite period, whether it is thirty years, or even centuries. In regards to the third idea, that Earth’s surfaces and processes are altered by human engineering, one can see a plethora of examples in the book. The energy from the Sun and from Earth’s interior and the events that are caused from that energy can cause humans to alter the surfaces and processes of Earth by building everything from levees to basins and can even cause humans to make an attempt at cooling flowing
