Earth's Face
Plate tectonics is the big plate was from the 2 or 3 hundred million ago, it is called the Pangaea, but after 220 million, the continental drift was happened. Continental drift is the process that making the plats moving, continents shift along with them. I agree with the theory of plate tectonics, because from my research, many activities in the Earth can slowly change the face of the Earth, and many things can support this theory, such as the mountain, fossil, desert, and etc.
Evidence 1-- Plate boundary ( Make the plates moving, change the face of Earth)
Convergent boundary
When two plates are coming together, it can creates the mountain on the crust.
Divergent boundary
When two plates are moving apart, it can creates the volcanoes, and the ridge.
Transform boundary
When two plates are past each other, it can creates the earthquake and the tsunami on the crust.
Evidence 2 --Puzzle
The Pangaea was a big piece plate that are from the 200 or 300 million ago. If we cut out the map, and put all continent together, it can support the all plates are come from one big plate.
Evidence 3-- Fossil
When plates were separate, the scientist found the same fossil in the two different plates. It can support these plates were together, but after they are separate.
Through these evidences, they can support the continental drift makes the plates are separate. In my opinion, I think when the plate boundaries are moving, the surface is slowing change, because when two plates together, there is a new mountain born, when two plates are moving apart, it is a new rift valley, or volcanoes, when two plates are past each other, the earthquake( Land move) was happened. Therefore, the pangaea separated because these activities on the crust.
Reflection
What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
In this project, I think to research the something I don't understand is the part I most enjoy, because I can know more knowledge from my research.
What most challenging for you during this project and why?
I think the most challenging part in this project is to learn something independent, because I need to find the information by myself. Such as, the watch the brainpop about the new topics, do the labs, presentation, or etc. ( But it is fun)
What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
From doing this project, I learn how do use the Prezi, it was my first time to used to Prezi to shows my evidences. I think it is a skill that I learned.
Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain.
I think I can improve my photograph evidences, because I think it is not very good, because I was not showing everything on the prezi.
What would you change about this project?
I think if I do this project again, I will to change the photograph evidence to essay, because I think the photograph evidence can not shows everything that I learned.
