Why don't we have any earthquakes and volcanoes in Bushwick?

Volcanoes and earthquakes are found at plate boundaries.



















Find NYC. Is this located at any plate boundaries?

ANOTHER WEBSITE :
"The Pangaea theory is one that states that all present continents were once together and collectively known as a 'supercontinent' called a Pangaea. The word 'Pangaea' means 'all lands' in Greek, accurately defining the way the continents were 200 millions years ago before it split up. These split-up pieces drifted slowly apart and became the way they are today. Even until now, the shape of the Earth surface is still changing, and it will be forever, as long as the mantle underneath the Earth's crust gets heated and convection currents in the magma keeps dragging the plates"

UNIT TEST - FRIDAY 4/4/08 - Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes and Volcanoes

FUNNY VIDEO THAT MIGHT HELP YOU REVIEW!

amazing video alert!

live action - lunar Eclipse.




And a solar eclipse

LANDSCAPES THAT ARE FORMED BY EROSION AND DEPOSITION!

Caves - mineral deposits from ground water
Stalactites

Wind erosion and deposition - sand dunes

Glacial erosion valley - shaped like a U river















river erosion valley - shaped like a V


















river delta - sediments deposited at a body of water


















river alluvial fan - sediments deposited at the base of a mountain



















Glacial Deposit - Erratic boulder

















Glacial deposit of unsorted sediment

Ocean/Wave action Erosion

WOWIE! MS. P watched the lunar eclipse on 2.21.08? did you?

In a lunar eclipse the full moon briefly enters the earth's shadow. The moon, earth and sun are all lined up. Remember the trick! Lunar = M-E-S Solar = E-M-S

TEN THINGS THAT HURT YOUR GRADE
