Unit Plan Canvas

This unit explains how and why earthquakes happen by following the path of earthquakes along plate tectonic boundaries. It explains that plate tectonics are moving and are a cause of earthquakes, tsunamis, and the formation of mountain ranges and oceans.  Creating a map of earthquakes presents evidence of plate tectonic motion.

An introduction to this unit is found on my canvas (URL below).  The canvas was made through playground canvases and includes images and videos that will help illustrate the main idea of the unit.  The canvas also includes additional resources that are helpful in creating a map of current, active earthquakes, and in understanding the concepts of plate tectonics.
