Monday Oct 28
Entry task: review your tip terms (continental rock-felsic rock)
LT: I can explain what convection currents are and how this process relates to the movement of tectonic plates.
Wednesday
Thursday
Review your notes from yesterday- come up with 2 questions you have about the article. Can write in your Cornell notes- circle your questions.
Friday November 1
Entry task:
Read the following: Explain to your elbow partner how this reading passage relates to this unit's phenomenon.
Differences in viscosity and volatile level have significant implications for the nature of volcanic eruptions. When magma is deep beneath the surface and under high pressure from the surrounding rocks, the gases remain dissolved. As magma approaches the surface, the pressure exerted on it decreases. Gas bubbles start to form, and the more gas there is in the magma, the more bubbles form, resulting in a more explosive eruption. If the gas content is low, or the magma is runny enough for gases to rise up through it and escape to surface, the pressure will not become excessive. Assuming that it can break through to the surface, the magma will flow out relatively gently. An eruption that involves a steady non-violent flow of magma is called effusive.
Monday -November 4

- Vocab quiz- take II
- Watch the Youtube demonstration below on convection. Explain how and why convection works. Relate this process to explain what is going on in the Earth's mantle and how it relates to plate tectonics. This assignment is posted on Schoology- titled convection cell quickwrite.
- Find the summary table for this unit posted in Schoology- complete your entries for the lessons we have done up to date. Due Wednesday BOP.
Wednesday
- Watch 'Yellowstone"- How the Earth was made- use a structured note-taking method due EOP
- Read article on the effects of water on the melting point of rocks/minerals
Thursday
Review your notes from yesterday- come up with 2 questions you have about the article. Can write in your Cornell notes- circle your questions.
- review article you read on Wednesday/go over questions you have.
- Unit exam next Wednesday (M/C short answer) - hand out study guide to help you review. Not required but is required to be complete if you decide to do a retake:)
- Homework quiz- plate boundaries/yesterday's reading- can use your notes!!
