Hi everyone, for those of you who were absent today, 4 classes joined forces: Rachel's, Tom's, Rob's and ours, till 1:15 p.m. We read an article about the stormy weather, discussed the article, learned what to do in an emergency during this storm, learned some new words and then we watched a National Geographic video called, Nature's Fury. The video was about natural disasters, with a focus on earthquakes, floods and tornadoes.
I typed up a little worksheet on the school computer and didn't save the document, but I will make copies for anyone who was absent. I also gave some homework. Your task is to look up two expressions: tectonic plates and fault lines.
I hope everyone is keeping warm and dry. Remember to read as much as you can and bring questions to class. See you tomorrow, Denise
A tectonic plate is an irregularly shaped slab of solid rock.Plate size and thickness can vary.
ReplyDeleteA fault is a boundary between two tectonic plates. Fault zones are the locations of the earthquakes.
Hi Emin, so great to see your response with the homework! Yay! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing: the fault zone is where volcanoes erupt too!
