Bellwork (3/24/14) • Where is the Earth’s magnetic field produced? • The inner and outer core.
Magnetic Storm • Answer the questions from the video on a separate sheet of paper
Bellwork (3/25/14) • How often, on average, does the Earth reverse its magnetic field?
Bellwork (3/25/14) • How often, on average, does the Earth reverse its magnetic field? • About every 200,000 years
The Dynamic Earth 3/25/14
Crust Mantle Outer Core Inner Core The Earth’s Structure
The liquid iron outer core flows around the solid inner core This gives it a dynamo effect The cause of earth's magnetism Earth’s Magnetism
The south magneticpole is located in the north geographic region The north magneticpole is located in the south geographic region Earth’s Magnetic Poles
Earth’s Magnetic Field • Deflects most of the cosmic ray’s • Reverse polarity about every 200,000 years • Last reversal was about 780,000 years ago
Earthquakes and Seismic Waves • P-Waves are longitudinal waves that can go through solids and liquids • S-Waves are transverse waves that can only go through solids
Seismic Wave Animation • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ27PNRe4zA • http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/eq_depot/2002/eq_021103/ak_seismic_waves.html
Science Fiction Story • Story needs to be 600 words minimum • What would it be like to live through a magnetic reversal • Due Dates: • - Rough Draft due Tues. 4/1/14 • - Final Draft and Reviews due Tues. 4/8/14
This Week’s Agenda • Today – Brainstorm or start rough draft of the Science Fiction Story • Tomorrow – Start the Magnetism Lab • Thur. – Finish the Magnetism Lab • Fri. – Post Lab and magnetism notes
