Shaking our world !!

      I agree with the theory of plate tectonics that says that the earth is broken up into huge pieces called plate tectonics. This Idea is agreeable because throughout the time the earth has been constantly changing, and evidences to this are the geographical features that are present in the earth such as mountain, volcanoes, rift valleys, hot spots, trenches and mid-ridge ocean. 

       These geographical features have been created because of the movement of the plate tectonics.So we have plates in the earth. When the two or more plates meet, its called Plate Boundary. There share three kinds of boundary that is: Divergent Boundary, Convergent Boundary, and Transform Boundary. Divergent Boundary is when two plates are moving from each other. It is caused by Tectonic plate under the ocean and created new land.The Convergent Boundary is when the plates are coming together, caused by Volcanoes, and create a mountain. Transform Boundary is when plates are sliding past each other caused by earthquake. 








          One of the causes of earth movement is Faults. When the Earth surface (top or face of the earth) breaks it called Fault. And there are three kinds of Fault, Normal Fault, Reverse Fault and Strike-Slip Fault. The Normal Fault is when the one side of the breaks moves down. The Reverse Fault is when one side of the breaks moves up, and the Strike-Slip Fault, when one side of the breaks slides past each other.
                                                                                                                                                                                  Conclusion


       So this is the cause of the earthquake that shows how earth has a plate and how is their movement. So now we know why we have movement because of the earthquake. The Fault is the one reason that shows how plates are moving. Another effect shows in the Plate Boundary because it shows the movement of the plates.

            •  Reflection

  1. What did you enjoy most about this project?
  • I enjoy while i present this project to classmates. And this project was the hard one, but still very helpful to know about EARTH!                                                                                                                                                
     2. What was most challenges for you during this project and why?
  •   Finding information was the most challenging for me because this project was new for me!!
        3.  What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
  •   Well, i learned a lot of things that i wasn't know before, and the important is i learned how does EARTHQUAKE caused and how does it effected!!
      4. Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work?
  •  AMMM!! I don't really know that, maybe i did bad on the class. I was quiet while my teacher gave us question about the project. So I'll try my best next time to answer more.  
     5.  What would you change about this project?
  • I would change my handout that i made the presentation!!
