Lesson 1: Map Earthquakes

STRAND: Earth’s Interactive Systems Earth’s major systems are the geosphere (solid and molten rock, soil, and sediments), the hydrosphere (water and ice), the atmosphere (air), and the biosphere (living things, including humans). Within these systems, the location of Earth’s land and water can be described. Also, these systems interact in multiple ways. Weathering and erosion are examples of interactions between Earth’s systems. Some interactions cause landslides, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions that impact humans and other organisms. Humans cannot eliminate natural hazards, but solutions can be designed to reduce their impact. STANDARD Standard 5.1.1 Analyze and interpret data to describe patterns of Earth’s features. Emphasize most earthquakes and volcanoes occur in bands that are often along the boundaries between continents and oceans while major mountain chains may be found inside continents or near their edges. Examples of data could include maps showing locations of mountains on continents and the ocean foor or the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes. CONCEPTS (nouns) SKILLS (verbs) ● Patterns of Earth’s features ● Analyze and interpret data ● Describe patterns LEARNING PROGRESSIONS

1. Why earthquakes occur in some places more than others. 2. Plot earthquakes locations on a map and make a claim. 3. Patterns between Earth’s features and earthquakes. 4. Where earthquakes occur and use patterns to help people. 5. How we beneft from information from cartographers.
