Shake Shake Shake Our Earth

Shake Shake Shake Our EarthLayers:LithosphereActivities:, BrainPop Video, Music VideosTopics: Continental Drift, Faults, Plate Tectonic, Earthquakes, Earth Structure, Seismic Waves.Earth has four basic layers: inner Core, outer core, mantle and crust. Crust is the layer that we live on. This is the hard layer under grass, and water. It is thick in the continent and in the ocean basins. Mantle is made up of mixture of element. It is deep and massive, goes down from the bottom of the crust. The upper mantle is soft and plastic which allow the plates move around. The lower mantle is solid and hot. The center of the earth is core, outer core and inner core. Outer core made of molten iron and nickel. It is liquid layer with 2,300 Km thick. Inner core is 5,100 Km below the surface. Inner core is a hard ball that made of iron. Asthenosphere activities topics-  Asthenosphere

- he mantle is very hot  and is under great pressure. Convection Cuurents move the earth’s plates. Heat from the outer core cause the magma go up and then it go down again when it reaches the cooler crust creating circle.z
MantleActivities: Photographic evidenceTopics: Plate boundaries, Subduction Zone, Fault zone, Hot spot, Tsunami, Earthquake When plates moving, they can slide apart, collide together or horizontally past each other. The boundaries where plates meet may cause volcanoes, mountains, trenches and earthquakes. They are also called faults. Because plates build up pressure in side rocks, rocks broke up and shift to release the pressure. This is earthquake. Earthquake has three types of waves. They are P-wave, S-wave and L-wave. earthquake can bring huge damage to the environment. It is serious disaster.2. Critical Thinking Question I agree with the theory of plate tectonics. If we put all continents together, they are look like puzzle.. After millions years, Earth’s crust broke up in large pieces called plates. Plates are moving few centimeters away from each year. Scientists found that rocks record and fossils in continents have similarity. That’s why there are seven continents on the earth.Because of the convection current, the heat in the mantle forces plates are moving on top of the mantle in different direction. This causes the ocean floor spreading from the center.3. Reflection1. What did you enjoy most about this project and why?I most enjoy is can chose activities on each types.2. What was most challenging for you during this project and why?Find the project on time.3. What new skills did you learn from doing this project?I learned to make video.4. Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain.I could come to present my project.

Season

Direct Sunlight 直接阳光 When the light from the sun hits the earth in a straight line.

Indirect Sunlight 间接阳光 When the light from the sun hits earth at the angle.

Equator 赤道 Separetes earth in 1/2.

Hemisphere 半球 1/2 of earth.

Tilt 斜 Not straight.

Polaris 南极星 The north star, earth's axis point to this star.

Earth revolution  地球公转 Earth around the sun.

Orbit 轨道 Path on object takes around another object.

Ellipse 椭圆 The shape of Earth's oval

Axis 轴 imaginary line through middle of earth.





Summary:
Earth have 4 season. Spring,Fall,Winter,Summer.When the direct sunlight to the earth is summer. When the indirect sunlight to the earth is winter.The Equator are separate earth in 1/2. One is north hemisphere the other is south hemisphere. when north hemisphere is summer so the south hemisphere will be winter.The earth's axis always point to polaris. The season alway moving to count clock wise.tilt and earth revolution is main cause of the season. The earth's tile is 23.5 degree. and the earth revolution length is one year.At the summer time the earth axis point to the sun.At the winter time the earth axis point away to the sun.The earth orbit the sun. and the shape is ellipse.So sometime the earth close to the sun.

Crical Thinking Question: Hw is earth affected by movement(revolution)?
The earth revolution takes about 365days, and rotation on its axis is 24 hours.Earth tilted is 23.5 degrees. The rotation casues day and night.The earth and the revolution of the earth around the sun also causes 4 different seasons. which are Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.indirect and direct sunlight Which causes Spring and fall equinoxes, Summer and winter solstices.Summer solstices the longest day in North Hemisphere is June 21/22, while winter solstices is shortest day is on Dec 21/22 South Hemisphere.lunar revolution take 28-31 days.Moon have different phases.The earth have 2 type of tide. Neap tide and spring tide.Is cause by the gravity and lunar revolution.


Reflection
1.What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
I most enjoy is can record this project.take a video about this project.Because I can look at any time.


2.What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
I think is edit the project. add affect it.I dont have ideas for it.


3.What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
Edit the video at Imovie.


4.Is there anythink that you could have donte to improve any of your work?Explain.
I think I should add more affect at my video.My video was not so good.
