The following are the essential questions that drove the knowledge, understanding, and application of activities within the Earth Science unit. Respond to each question in your entry.
1-How do scientists support observations that the Earth has three interior layers (crust, mantle, core)?
2-Why do we know that continents once were all connected together in a single land mass called Pangaea? What evidence supports Pangaea?
3-What changes have occurred to Earth over time and how do these changes impact today, tomorrow, and the future?

1. How does the temperature change as you go from the surface towards the center of the Earth?THE TEMPERATURE CONTINUES TO INCREASE AS YOU GET CLOSER TO THE INNER CORE.
2. The three main layers that make up the Earth are the CRUST,MANTLE, AND CORE.
3. The CRUST is a layer of rock that forms the outer skin of the Earth.
4. Basalt is found on the OCEANIC CRUST .Granite is found on the CONTINENTAL CRUST.
5. What is the difference between the inner and outer core?
Inner Core-SOLID SPHERE OF IRON AND NICKEL - HOTTEST AREA
Outer Core-MOLTEN MATERIAL OF IRON AND NICKEL - NOT AS HOT
6. How do convection currents move inside the Earth?
CORRECT ANSWER A
a- hot materials rise, while cooler materials sink
b- hot materials sink, while cooler materials rise
c- hot materials move up or down, while cool materials move sideways.
7. Which layer of rock within the Earth’s interior is the thickest? MANTLE
8. Name the two parts of the mantle region
Upper most part=LITHOSPHERE
Lower part =ASTHENOSPHERE
Supervolcano
Movie developed by the Discovery Channel
Supervolcano connects to the Earth Changes unit.
Summary- USGS scientists and researchers that work at Yellowstone collect data and use Vergil (prototype of Yellowstone) that predicts a VEI 8 eruption in the near future. The USGS scientists takes steps to inform the public, but the government does not want to cause chaos in the country. Unfortunately, the caldera under Yellowstone erupts causing a VEI 8, and USGS along with the government have to work together to handle this natural disaster today, tomorrow, and in the future.
During and after watching this movie, students will be able to:
1. Determine the cause and effect relationships during a VEI 8 volcanic eruption.
2. Identify the predictions and hypotheses that lead up to a VEI 8 volcanic eruption.
3. Evaluate the government and scientists plans for the evacuation and aftermath from the volcanic eruption.
4. Recount scientific Earth changes concepts such as: lava, magma, seismograph, Richter Scale, caldera, lava flow, pyroclastic flow.
5. Analyze from the scientific predictions and data if a Supervolcano eruption will occur at Yellowstone in the near future.
