7-8 | What are the scientific ideas and evidence that led to the theory of plate tectonics? What is the relationship between the type of plate boundary and the locations of various features such as ocean trenches, mountain ranges, and mid-ocean ridges? What is Earth’s interior like? How are mountains formed along convergent and divergent plate boundaries? How are mountains formed at locations other than plate boundaries? | 2.02 Analyze the historical development of the theory of plate tectonics | Chapter 17: Plate Tectonics p. 442-467 Chapter 20: Mountain Building p. 523-543 | Continental drift activity A Model of Earth’s Interior Act. Edible Tectonics A Solid or Liquid or a Liquid—What is the Mantle (Asthenosphere) Like? Fault models activity Amazing Earth video | Continental drift Pangaea Magnetic reversal Paleomagnetism Seafloor spreading Convergent boundary Divergent boundary Transform boundary Rift valley Subduction Theory of plate tectonics Ridge push Slab pull Orogeny Fault-block mountain Uplifted mountain |
What are p-waves and s-waves and how have they helped scientists theorize about Earth’s internal structure? What are quantitative measures of earthquakes? How do you locate the epicenter of an earthquake? What is the level of seismic activity in NC? | 2.04 Analyze seismic waves including velocity and refraction to: -Infer Earths internal structure -located earthquake epicenters’ -measure earthquake magnitude -evaluate the level of seismic activity in NC | Chapter 19: Earthquakes p. 495-519 | Locating Plate Boundaries by Earthquake Data | Epicenter Fault Focus Primary wave Secondary wave Strain Stress Surface wave Seismogram Seismometer Magnitude Modified Mercalli scale Richter scale Seismic gap tsunami |
