  1. N.C. Geologic History • Build 6-flap foldable • you will need 3 sheets of clean notebook paper • Fold as follows: then turn upside-down

  2. N.C. Geologic Regions bedrock mostly sedimentary rock bedrock mostly metamorphic rock fall line fall line (mountains) (tidewater) p. ES 7 *read info & discuss w/ partner

  3. Requirements: • 1 drawing of each geologic time period • description of each geologic time period • minimum 4 colors N.C. Geologic History This page is found after p. 332 Between Chapters 11 -12 500 – 600 million years ago Hint: Turn foldable upside down 450 – 500 million years ago 400 million years ago PANGEA 250 – 300 million years ago p. ES 14 200 million years ago present day N.C. N.C. Geology biggest flap answer all questions on back of foldable

  4. Answer questions on back of foldable: Page ES 14 (between Chap 11 & 12 in the old book) • What did the process of mountain building that raised the Appalachians involve? • Where was the shoreline of NC between 500 and 600 million years ago? • How were the Blue Ridge Mountains created? • What formed the base of the piedmont? • In picture B, what is creating heat to form the volcanic islands? • What completed the formation of the Appalachians?  How long ago was it? • What process involving the seafloor caused North America and Africa to split?  What body of water was created? • What type of rock makes up most of the bedrock layer in the Coastal Plain region? 9. What type of rock makes up most of the bedrock layer in the Piedmont region? 10. Draw & Label the “Fall Line” in the map of N.C. regions on the outside flap of your foldable.

  5. Actions at Plate Boundaries Divergent Convergent Transform Fault • Oceanic ridge • Rift valleys • Seafloor spreading • Ex: Mid-Atlantic Ridge • Subduction zones • Volcanic activity • Mountain building • Ex: Andes Mountains • Plates grind past each other • Ex: San Andreas Fault
