Learning Outcomes / Ngā Whāinga Ako 🔗
- Earth Structure and Plate Tectonics
- Explain how the earth has changed over 4.6 billion years and account for its current structure
- Explain the theory of plate tectonics using many sources of evidence
- Use scientific language: crust, mantle, outer core, inner core, subduction zone, constructive, destructive and conservative plate boundaries
- Earthquakes and Volcanoes
- Use plate tectonics to explain why and where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen
- Recall major seismic events from NZ and earth history and relate them to their impact on people
- Use scientific language: Richter and Mercalli scale, epicenter, focus, p and s waves, viscosity of larva, shield, dome, caldera
- The Rock Cycle
- Describe how sedimentary (including fossils), metamorphic and igneous rocks are created and destroyed
- Explain how land features (mountains, rivers, plains) are linked to tectonic plate movement and erosion and weathering
