  1. Earthquakes Unit 10-17 Study and know the main ideas, or Mr. Jez will find you… Monday, December 16, 2013 Property of Mr. T. Jez

  2. ToPT • Explain the evidence the Theory of Plate Tectonics • (FIT, FOSSILS, ROCK, CLIMATE) Property of Mr. T. Jez

  3. Recognizing Patterns • What do the patterns of earthquakes and volcanoes on the surface of the earth tell us? • They outline the edges of plates and show where hotspots occur Property of Mr. T. Jez

  4. Ogres have Layers • Understand the different layers of the inner earth be able to identify their order. • Crust (rigid), Mantle(plastic like), Outer Core(liquid iron), Inner Core (solid iron/nickel) Property of Mr. T. Jez

  5. Giant X-Ray Gun? • How do scientists know what layers are under the earth’s crust? • Earthquake waves travel through the earth and the speeds and locations help us determine what materials they are traveling through. Property of Mr. T. Jez

  6. It’s Your Fault • Describe all aspects of a Fault. What, where, how? Provide at least one example. • (San Andreas) Property of Mr. T. Jez

  7. What Happens at Plate Edges • Explain similarities and differences of convergent, divergent, and transform plate boundaries Property of Mr. T. Jez

  8. Building a Home? • Explain the different soil types and how they behave during earthquakes • (bedrock/compact soil/loose sand) Property of Mr. T. Jez

  9. Wave Goodbye.. • Explain the difference between a P-wave and an S-wave. Provide examples from your class work. Explain how to spot each on a seismogram Property of Mr. T. Jez

  10. Shapes and Pies, Shapes and Pies • Describe the epicenter and how it is located. • By gathering S & P Wave data from three siesmograph stations. Use time/distance graph to determine distance to epicenter from each, then triangulate the epicenter Property of Mr. T. Jez

  11. Did you feel that? • Explain the process involved with moving the earth’s tectonic plates. How do they move? • Convection Currents in the mantle cause tectonic plate movement Property of Mr. T. Jez
