[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart introduces students to the formation of mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes.

Interactive activity that allows the learner to make their own regional map using layers of their choice such as volcanoes, craters, plate tectonics, or earthquakes. This map of the Earth zooms in and out, highlights essential processes,...

Wikipedia offers information on the location of the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Map included.

Students are introduced to our planet's structure and its dynamic system of natural forces through an examination of the natural hazards of earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, tsunamis, floods and tornados, as well as avalanches, fires,...

A suite of lessons focusing on all aspects of how mountains are formed. Inquiry-based exploration of mountain building includes the rock cycle, mountain formation, plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, erosion, rocks, minerals, and...

Discover the ways in which the Earth's surface is always changing and what causes those changes through reference materials and a collection of activities.

Study earthquakes, volcanoes, topography, plate tectonics, and sea level change using graphs, maps, and movies. Engage in earth science knowledge discovery, critically evaluate the data and results, and reach conclusions about the earth...

This educational site provides information about deadly forces of nature, such as, tornadoes, volcanoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes.

Through interactive activities and readings, students learn that natural resources can be renewable or nonrenewable, but sustainable use and management must be applied to ensure they are available for the long term.

Earth changes can happen quickly or slowly. The students will work in teams to stake a claim about these changes and then use texts to find evidence to prove their claims. Included in this lesson are video clips of the class, a list of...

This site is a very simple overview of plate tectonics. It includes a map of all the major plates and a diagram of the layers of the earth.

The Geography Site offers many links for your geography research. Links offered are to physical geography, human geography, environment, online lessons, and much more.

In this activity, students will observe and understand the basic kinematics of plate movement, how oceans are formed during continental rifting, and the relationship between plate geometry and tectonic data such as earthquakes, heat...

Through demonstrations and other research, students explore the impact of various natural disasters on the earth. The disasters include floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, and earthquakes.

This resource focuses on research of infrasonic sounds found in the environment. It discusses such infrasonic sources as volcanoes, avalanches, severe thunderstorms, and earthquakes.

An basic introduction to plate tectonics and the Earth's processes related to this phenomenon.

Explains what a natural disaster is and provides a list of every type along with a short description of each.

In this lesson, 5th graders will use context clues as they learn new science vocabulary words through listening, reading and discussing the new content. The terms are associated with the reshaping of the earth's surface.
