Topic: Plate Tectonics. Pre-assessment. 1. Earth s mantle plays an important role in plate tectonics. Why is the mantle so important to thisprocess? Earthquakes occur constantly in the mantle, which causes the plates to move.
CHAPTER 12: VALUE OF INFORMATION. information can help us make better decisions. information alternatives. consult experts. perform math/stat analyses. conduct surveys. read books, journals, or articles. DA offers methodology to assess the value of information.

Introduction to the Seafloor. Focus Question. What are the seafloor features? Activity Synopsis. Using a map of the ocean floor, students are asked to observe and describe seafloor features. The instructor is encouraged to stress to students that this.
Definitions of main features. Source-Where a river begins. Tributary-Smaller rivers/streams that join the main river. Confluence-The point where two rivers join. Estuary-The part of the river (mouth) which is tidal. Mouth-Where the river enters the sea/lake.
Algal blooms at Nolin River Lake prompt recreation advisory. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is cautioning recreational users of Nolin River Lake, located in Edmonson, Grayson and Hart counties, about potentially harmful contact with a bloom.
Minerals and Plate Tectonics. There is iron in the minerals of almost every rock you pick up. The problem is that there s just not very much iron. It would cost more than the iron is worth to extract it from the rock. So geologists are not just looking.

Exploring the Earth 2: Hawaii and Measuring Geologic Time. We have explored the evidence for plate tectonics and found that earthquakes and volcanoes provide basic evidence about the lithospheric plates that move around on Earth s surface. For example.
A Hands-On Geology Unit. Robin Satnick. This 10 session series encompasses a wide variety of hands-on lab. experiments that explore and investigate rocks and minerals. This unit. was written for 4th and 5th grade students who participate in an 1.
