This site is a lesson plan that incorporates language arts, social studies, science, and art. After studying islands, and how they're formed, students create their own models using clay. Also provides resources and adaptations. (To...

A resource to help understand that the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates is caused by convection. The plates' movements cause geologic features on the Earth's surface.

Have you ever noticed how some of the continents and land masses of Earth seem to fit together like pieces of a puzzle? This unit is designed to help you understand why continent shapes appear that way. In addition you will learn how...

Learn how different types of Earth processes change Earth's surface.

Describes details of the earthquake of November 29, 1975 Kalapana in Hawaii, the tsunami, and the eruption of the volcano Kilauea as a result of the earthquake.

This lesson helps students use images that depict earthquakes, seafloor ages, topography, and volcanoes, and then make a scientific argument supporting the Theory of Plate Tectonics.

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

Students use GIS to observe worldwide patterns of earthquakes and volcanoes and analyze the relationships of those patterns to tectonic plate boundaries. Then they identify cities at risk.

Research and explore past earthquake and volcanic activity on this interactive world map. User can manipulate which notable events and other map characteristics to view depending on the type of study being done.

The U.S. Geological Survey offers information for teachers and students interested on Earth Science research. Contains references to general information as well as current research and events.

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,...

This resource looks at how geologists are able to measure the movement of tectonic plates using satellite-based data and how they were able to surmise in the past that the plates were moving. It also discusses how to read GPS time-series...

This sequence is an introduction to plate tectonics using evidence from topographical maps, earthquake location and depth, and volcano location using the Seismic Explorer model to investigate patterns of earthquake data and to infer the...
