Shaking Our World

Lithosphere
Actives:
3 mini-posters (Earth's Interior, Continental Drift, Plate Boundaries)

Lithosphere means land and rock. Earth's Interior are crust, mantle, outer core, inner core. There're two types of crust call Oceanic and Continental. Alfred Wegener is the person who thought of Continental Drift. The continents were all together called Pangaea million years ago. The evidences to prove are puzzle, fossils, rock types and mountain ranges. There're three types of boundaries called convergent (two plates come together), divergent (tow plates are separate) and transform (two plates are slide past each other).

Music Video (seismic waves rap, we didn't start the fire)
Seismic waves happens by earthquake. There are 3 kind of waves called P-wave ( primary wave and the fastest), S-wave (secondary wave and solwer) and L-wave (most dangerous).
Volcanoes caused by plate's movement. When the volcanoes on fore, melted rock go out. Magma (inside) and lave (outside) are melted rock. Volcanoes also can fire in the ocean. If the volcanoes fire under the ocean, years ago, it may create an island.


Asthenosphere
Activities:
Prediction Map



This is my prediction map.











- Two continental plates come together create Mountains.
-Oceanic plate and continental plate come together create Trenches.
-Two continental plates are separate create rift Valley.
-Two oceanic plates are separate create ridges.
- Two plates are slide past each other create Earthquakes.



Demonstration Lab (Convection Currents)
Convection Currents is movement inside the mantle (heat) moves the plates. Heat makes magma goes up, gets cool at crust and goes down. It get heat by the outer core. Convection Currents create wolcanoes and hot spot.

Mantle layer
Activities:
Exploration Labs


Do you agree with the theory of plate tectonics? Why or why not?
I do agree with the theory of plate tectonics. Because the plate still changing every years. Plate's movement can cause by earthquake and tusnami.

Reflection 
 What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
I most enjoy about this project is doing the lab. Because I like doing lab to learn thing about earth. It's a interesting way when you're learning.

What was most challenging for you during this peoject and why?
I think the most challenging for me is the presentation. It's challenging me because is little difficult to tell someone what I undersant. To talk to speak in English. But I try my best.

What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
I think I didn't learn any new skills in this project, but I take my time correctly  in this project. Less work take home.

Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain.
Yes, I want to improve my mini poster. I can make it more nice, includ more informations.
