Tuesday 12-3-13 • Check Continental Drift & Pangaea • (Leave it out and open to it.) • Brainpop: Earth’s Structure • Lithospheric Plates
Goals for Brainpop • Explain the physical properties of the structural layers and how those physical properties affect other things.
Shoulder Partner Questions • What are the 2 ways that scientists classify the layers of the Earth by? • Composition (what they are made up of.) • Structure (Solid, soft, rigid, liquid)
Shoulder Partner Questions • Which compositional layer is made up of iron and nickel? • Which structural layer is soft and flows very slowly so that the layer above it can move on it? Core Asthenosphere
What is the Theory of Continental Drift and list 4 pieces of evidence that support it. • Continents move around in relationship to each other. • Evidence • Fossil Records • Sea floor is getting bigger at mid-atlantic ridge • Magnetic minerals alternate direction in sea floor • Continents fit together like puzzle
Goals for Lithospheric Plate Activity • Differentiate between oceanic and continental sections of the Earth’s major plates.
Lithospheric Plates • Label the 13 plates of the Lithosphere • Color entire plate the same color. • Color continental crust darker than oceanic crust. • Each plate should be a different color • Answer Lithospheric Plates Questions
