  1. Forces on Earth’s Structures, Inside Earth Joe Stafford, TiernanBrunner, Brighton Lorber

  2. Shaping Earth • Weathering • Chemical • Mechanical • Erosion • Ex: Mountains, plateaus, valleys, Grand canyons, deltas.

  3. Rebuilding Earth • Deposition • Carried by water, ice, or wind • Ex: Himalayas and Plains • Plains created by sediment

  4. Forces Inside Earth • Theory of Plate Tectonics • plates – huge blocks of earth (continents and water) • Magma – partly melted rock, acts like conveyor belt • Motion of plates = Earthquakes and Volcanoes

  5. Earthquakes and VOLCANOES • Earthquakes caused by seams in earth called Faults • Only some cause harm to people • Earthquakes caused by seams in earth called Faults
