  1. Geography Plate Tectonics & Natural Hazards

  2. Plate TectonicsIn your own words… Pg. 104 ? What is plate tectonics? Pg. 108-110 ? Describe the 2 basic types of lithosphere ? List the 9 major tectonic plates. ? What is the asthenosphere?

  3. Human interaction Pg. 113 ? What are 3 of the natural resources that plate boundaries provide? ? What are the 3 natural hazards associated with living near tectonic plate boundaries?

  4. Natural Hazard Essay Choose 1 hazard to write about in your essay: Volcanoes Earthquakes Tsunamis Research information about your hazard in your textbook (try to choose 3 main points to write about)

  5. Essay planning: Volcanoes (Pg. 114-115) Earthquakes (Pg. 115-117 {Extra 132-140)) Tsunamis (Pg. 117 – 119 [Extra 120-132]) Research: Begin the essay writing process by researching your topic, making yourself an expert. Utilize your text book and the internet. Take notes on your topic and try to stick to 3 main ideas for your essay. Outline: Sketch out your essay before straightway writing it out. Note down your main ideas in the main body in three separate paragraphs. Use one-line sentences to describe paragraphs, and bullet points to describe what each paragraph will contain. Intro: Now sit down and write the essay. The introduction should grab the reader's attention, set up the issue, and lead in to your main points. Your intro is merely a buildup of the issue, a stage of helping your reader understand what the essay is about.

  6. Conclusion: Gracefully exit your essay by making a quick wrap-up sentence or two of your main points. End on some memorable thought, perhaps a quotation, or an interesting twist of logic, or some call to action. Is there something you want the reader to walk away and do? Let him or her know exactly what. Paragraphs: Each individual paragraph should be focused on a single idea that supports your topic. Begin paragraphs with topic sentences, support your points with evidence (research shows that earthquakes are…), and expound your ideas in the clearest, most sensible way you can. Write in a formal manner making sure not to use slang (don’t/dunno/can’t/kinda).
