Teacher Notes Remember the intentions of this unit are to; A) educate boys about natural process and the social affects of such disasters B) Equip them with the skills and endurance to do written book work, note taking and write essays. These of which are essential skills in social studies, senior geography and University.

2. Kete Kupu Prominent Process Environmental
3. So what is anenvironmental process? It is processes,
actions, operations, and cycles that occur naturally in the
environment without the intervention or aid of man. Natural
disasters are a result of an or combination of significant
environmental processes.
4. What do we already know? What are all the different
environmental processes you know?
5. What are the mostprominent 3 in NZ?
6. +So what do we need to understand first? Tectonic plates and
how they move
7. + Layers of the earth Earth is made up of many different
layers The interior layers of the earths are spherical, like an
onion. Layers of the Earth
8. + Layers of the earth
9. + Practical Create a model of the layers of the earth.
Complete the layers of the earth work sheet.
10. + Tectonic plates (copy this in full) The worlds surface is
made up of many tectonic plates. There are 8 main plates. When the
plates move volcanoes, mountains, earthquakes, and tsunamis are
formed. Each tectonic plate is alongside another plate like a
puzzle. Where they meet are called boundaries. There are three
types of boundaries they are called; convergent boundaries,
divergent boundaries, and transform boundaries
11. + Tectonic Plates
12. + Plate movement (copy this in full) Tectonic plates can
move in three ways; Convergent one moves under the other Convergent
boundaries is when plates in the earth overlap, one goes under and
the other rises over to form mountain ranges. An example of a
mountain range is the Himalayas. Divergent - move away from each
other Divergent Boundaries are locations where plates are moving
away from one another. This occurs above rising currents. The
rising current pushes up on the bottom of the lithosphere, lifting
it and flowing laterally beneath it. Divergent boundaries mostly
cause volcanoes Transform they move along side each other Transform
Plate Boundaries are locations where two plates slide past one
another. Most transform faults are found in the ocean basin and
connect offsets in the mid-ocean ridges. San Andreas Fault is an
example.
13. + Divergence video
14. + convergent video
15. + subduction video
16. + Mix and match all the squares so they align with the
titles Divergent Convergent Transform One moves under the they move
along side move away from each other each other other
17. + ANSWERS Divergent Convergent Transform move away from
each one moves under the they move along side other other each
other
18. + The Ring of Fire (copy the first 2 points) The "Ring of
Fire is boundary stretching from New Zealand, along the eastern
edge of Asia, north across the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, and
south along the coast of North and South America The Ring of Fire
is composed over 75% of the worlds active and dormant volcanoes.Now
