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?
Answers for Official Review Guide
rigid
1. Continental Crust
2. Oceanic Crust
3. Mantle
4. Outer Core
5. Inner Core
2. Due to the intense heat and pressure.
3. Constructive forces help build up the Earth and the various landforms.
Destructive forces destroy the Earth and the various landforms.
4. Inner Core Similarities Outer Core
Solid nickel and iron intense heat molten or liquid nickel and iron
center region
Lithosphere Similarities Asthenosphere
upper part of largest part soft layer floats
mantle of interior on lithosphere rigid
5. All continents were once linked together as Pangea but have since drifted apart due to continental drift.
6. Evidence includes- fossils, climate, landforms/mountain ranges
7. Plates are in constant motion from the heating from the Earth’s mantle or core region.
8. Metamorphic, Igneous, Sedimentary
9. Volcano Earthquake
Richter Scale
Lava Seismic Waves
Magma Epicenter
Composite Focus
Pumice Magnitude
Crater
Ring of Fire- both
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.
