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.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson students will recognize that changes that occur in the layers of the Earth (volcanoes and earthquakes) are a result of forces acting upon it.

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.
