Lesson+2

=Profiling Hazards and the theory of plate tectonics=

Lesson Work
Powerpoint here!

Self Study Work
Tasks:


 * 1. Understanding the theory of plate tectonics.**

This is a note making and **understanding** homework. You will need to get to grips with:


 * The difference between the theory of continental drift and plate tectonics.
 * Evidence for the theory of both continental drift and plate tectonics.
 * Diagrams used to show the cause of plate movements, internal earth structure and major plate boundaries.
 * Key terminology related to earth structure.

As a starting point read and make notes from: [] then read [] for more detail on driving forces and plate movement. Excellent additional reference is this online textbook called [|'This Dynamic Earth' by Kious and Tilling].

The key to this work is understanding rather than just copying. To ensure this I will be doing a **short test next lesson**.

Complete an earthquake profile sheet for your allocated earthquake. Don't forget to include evidence for the profile and its source.
