What's the plan for today?

1. C4.1: Japan: country in the Ring of Fire
   

LAST LESSON'S GOALS

1. You can give a connection between land use and relief in Japan.
2. You can explain the difference between endogenic and exogenic forces.
3. You can name the 3 types of movements tectonic plates can make.
4. You can name 2 differences between continental and oceanic plates.
   
5. You can explain what the Ring of fire is.

The world is a puzzle of moving plates

These plates move in different directions

THE RING OF FIRE

You can name the 3 types of movements tectonic plates can make.

You can name the 3 types of movements tectonic plates can make.

1. Transform
2. Divergent
3. Convergent

TERMS OF C4.1

You can explain these terms in your own words: Earth’s crust, core, mantle, magma, lava, convection current, plates, faults, plate tectonics (GG 66 + 67).

Try to explain them to your neighbour.

CHECK HOMEWORK

2, 3, 4 & 5

ENDOGENIC- & EXOGENIC

ENDOGENIC FORCES

Change the earth's crust from the inside

EXOGENIC FORCES

Change the earth's crust from the outside

TODAYS GOALS

1. You can explain how trenches are formed in a subduction zone.
   
2. You can explain in 3 steps how volcanoes are formed in a subduction zone. 
3. You can explain how a mid-oceanic ridge is formed (GG 68).
4. You know that volcanism around subduction zones is different than volcanism in mid-oceanic ridges.

CONVERGENT PLATE MOVEMENT

Japan:

Continental and oceanic plate

SUBDUCTION

You can explain how trenches are formed in a subduction zone.

DIVERGENT PLATEMOVEMENT

MID-OCEANIC RIDGE

Let's go!

Open pages 65 to 67 in your GeoGuide and answer these questions in notebook:

1. Write the name of the largest oceanic plate.
   
2. What direction of movement do the African and South American plates separate from each other? Convergent or divergent.
   
3. What happens when plates move apart?
   
4. Which plate is heavier? Oceanic or continental.
   
5. What do you call the cracks between plates?
   
6. On which plate is the Netherlands located?
