1. Daily Questions ZWhat is the temperature difference between the crust and the mantle? ZExplain how convection currents work to move the plates ZWhy, when continental crust and oceanic crust meet, does the oceanic crust tend to dive below the continental? Z96% of all of the minerals found on Earth are categorized as silicates, or containing silicon, why?

2. Week of September 27th- Monday ZPlate Tectonics Unit ZNew Seats-A and B can choose to switch with one person ZContinuation of the physiographic map analysis-must complete today

3. Memories ZAbsences and Retakes ZIf you were absent or need to do a retake on anything, please schedule with me as soon as possible. ZWe are in Moodle #3 Z Only #3 will be routinely checked now,If you complete a moodle from #1 or #2 you must send a message on Moodle or an e-mail to tell me what you have updated. ZMoodle #3 has been changed over the weekend. A choice activity has been put in place of the Glogster assignment. Garret Brooks is exempt.

4. Daily Questions ZWhat are three ways that plates can interact? ZWhy is oceanic crust the one covered by water and continental crust is above the water? ZWhy is it so difficult for geologists to determine where plate boundaries are and how many plates there are?

5. Week of September 27th- Tuesday ZPlate Tectonics Unit ZGuided by Notes ZImportant review and new stuff ZGet it all down, ask questions, this will be something that you will need to have for your next test.

6. Daily Questions ZWhy did the heat inside the earth increase after Rodentia’s formation? ZPanacea means cures all, Geology is the study of rocks, what does Pangaea mean?

8. Daily Questions ZWhy did the movement of the plates increase in force and speed after Rodentia and Pangaea formed? ZWhy does subduction not occur when two continental crust collide? ZWhen crust is being pulled apart does the hanging wall go down or up the fault plane? ZExplain why faulting occurs quickly and not slowly.

9. Week of September 27th- Thursday ZPlate tectonics unit ZFinish any lingering notes ZIdentification in the field, can you tell what has happened? ZPair investigation activity ZUse each other ZGet as much done today as you can ZHomework if not finished

10. Daily Questions ZGiven the same pressure, why would one rock fold and another fracture? ZWhat does the term paleomagnitism mean? ZWhy would it be important for geologists to determine if a rock underwent tension or compression? ZWhy fault do you think causes the most damage and why? Just imagine the hanging wall moving.
