Today in class...

Part 1 - Use this link to access the survey for your preferred location for the APES Saturday study sessions. The locations and dates of the study sessions can be accessed here.

Part 2 - Use this link to access the Plate Tectonics simulation and answer the questions on-screen. Try different combinations of crusts and different types of boundaries. Explain the origins of mountains, volcanoes, new crust, and islands.

Tonight for homework...

Complete Earth's Composition and Plate Tectonics Practice Questions (Assignment 8) and read "Plate Tectonics as Global Thermostat" and "Plate Tectonics and the Magnetic Field" (p. 208-213) in your Rare Earth packet and add to the back of your notes about the contributions of plate tectonics to life on Earth.
