We hope everyone is staying safe! We miss all of you and hope to see you all soon. Please let us know if you have any questions as you work through the material below.
1) Use pages 123-129 from the book on Plate Tectonics to draw the boundary diagram found on page 128. Use a piece of white computer paper.
Your assignment needs to have:
Label the following:
On the back side of your diagram, write a constructed response:
1)Describe the process in your drawing. Make sure you include vocabulary words such as subduction, density, granite, basalt, and convection current. How is it that if new ocean crust is being formed the ocean level does not lower?
2) Answer the 2 questions below using pages 132-137 from the book. You can answer the 2 questions in your notebook or on a separate sheet of paper.

UPDATE II Week of March 23 - 27
We hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. Below are 3 opportunities to keep you actively involved in scientific topics. Please let us know if you have any questions or any issues.
1. Please read the section, The History of the Theory of Plate Tectonics, from our book.
2. Based on the section you read, create a concept map (we did this for one other reading this year - it's a bubble chart) in your notebook or on a separate sheet. Your main bubble in the center should be titled, "The History of the Theory of Plate Tectonics."
The bubbles off of the center should include the following sections from the reading:
- Geologic Puzzles
- Explaining the Puzzle
- Putting the Pieces Together
- Resistance to Continental Drift
- The Missing Pieces
- Seafloor Spreading
***Add 2 ideas/questions/thoughts/definitions to each bubble.***
3. Once you finish the concept map/bubble chart:
4. Watch the National Geographic Clip below on Volcano basics, and write 3-5 sentences summarizing what you viewed in the clip.

3. Once you finish the concept map/bubble chart:
- Sketch and Label the Seafloor Spreading diagram on page 79.
- Answer the Think Questions on page 79.
- Define any bolded terms found on pages 74-79.
4. Watch the National Geographic Clip below on Volcano basics, and write 3-5 sentences summarizing what you viewed in the clip.
5. Weather Data to make graph of:
Weather Data for March 15- March 21
Make the following graphs:
Weather Data for March 15- March 21
Make the following graphs:
- Days on X Axis vs AM and PM temperatures on the Y axis (two line graphs)
- Days on X Axis vs AM and PM wind speed on the Y axis (two line graphs)
- Sunrise and Sunset
- Calculate the length of day for each day
- Which day is closest to 12 hours of day/night and which day is the vernal equinox?
