Week 8 | Discussion

"Chapters 20 and 21" 

OPTION 1

Go to the real-time Earthquake map at

USGS: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/ . 

• Take a look at the latest earthquakes in the US. How strong were they? Where were they located?
• Now zoom out on the map so you can see the entire world. How strong was the strongest recent quake, and where was it?
• Note the red lines on the map. How do you think these relate to Wegener's theories and Plate Tectonics?
• Do you notice any correlation between the dots representing earthquakes and the red lines? Why do you think that is?

*Your response should be at least 125 words long, written in paragraph form and should relate what you see on the website with what you learned in the textbook about Plate Tectonics*

Make a substantive reply  to at least two fellow students.

Option 2

For your primary post, provide a link to a current news article or science article that is related to at least one topic from Chapter 20 “Rocks & Minerals” and/or Chapter 21 “Plate Tectonics and Earth’s Interior.”

In addition to the link, write a paragraph of at least 125 words describing the article and how it relates to the material from the textbook. Which concepts from the text does it mention, cover or depend on? Is the article more or less detailed on the science than the textbook?
