2. File > Exprort as a quicktime movie, name it your name.

3. Put it in the Plate Boundaries Presentation folder.

1. Start here, make a list of the Earth’s major plates, and copy the graphic showing the plates.

2. Find an image showing the world’s earthquakes and paste it into your document.  Explain where the earthquakes are with respect to the plates.

3. Find an image that shows the motion of the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate.  (hint: search for: north american plate pacific plate).  Make sure it has arrows showing the plate motion. Explain what type of boundary this is. (you learned about the boundaries last week here).

4. Find an image that shows the motion of the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate.  Explain what type of boundary this is.

5. Find an image that shows the motion of the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate. Explain what type of boundary this is.

6. Find an image that shows the motion of the Pacific Plate and the Eurasian Plate. Explain what type of boundary this is.

Save this document and put it in the Earth’s Plates Folder on the server.

When you are done with your comic, do the following:

2. What does it explain?

3. How were all the continents arranged 225 million years ago?

4. What moves the plates around?

5. What are the four types of boundaries that happen when Plate Tectonic activities take place?

6. What happens at divergent boundaries?

7. What happens at convergent boundaries?

8. What happens at collisional boundaries?

9. What happens at transform boundaries?

Most of the Earth’s water came from ______________ .

The early atmosphere contained no __________________.

The first life forms were _________________organisms that lived in the ______________.

Cyanobacteria converted C02 and sunlight into ___________________.

 Radioactive dating of meteorites, which were formed at the same time as the Earth gives an age of ___________________________ for the Earth.

1. __________and ____________melted and sank to the core, generating heat.

2. Within the core, the molten ball of rotating iron created _____________________________

3. Earth’s magnetic field deflects the solar wind and preserves our ________.

To answer the questions, you must write the question with the answers filled in, find an image that illustrates it, and link to a website that answers the question.  After the link, explain what the site is about and how it explains the question.

1. Find three images showing the Earth forming and write about what the images are showing.
One image should show the earth forming from gas and dust.  One image should show the early Earth getting hit  by meteors, and one should show the huge impact that caused the Moon to form.

2. Find three websites that explain how the Earth formed, link to them and explain what each site has on it.  One site should explain how the earth formed from a cloud of gas, ice, and dust. One site should explain how the earth was bombarded by meteors, and one should explain how the Moon was formed.

Today’s challenge is to find the evidence that: 

The Sun and Earth were formed from a cloud of gas, ice, and dust 4.5 billion years ago.

1. Find 3 images of stars forming within clouds of gas and dust today.  Write a few sentences explaining what your pictures show, where they are, and if they provide evidence that stars and planets form from clouds of gas and dust.  Put the images on the webpage and the text next to or under the pictures.

2. Find three websites that explain how stars form from clouds of gas and dust.  Make a text box, write the name of the website and a description of what the website is about and who wrote it.  Make the title into a link that links to the website.
