Earth Features Test

Hi everyone,

We are planning to have our Earth Features Test on Monday Feb. 27th.  Because we did not see the first 2 hours of the day I wanted to make sure and get this review sheet out to you!  We will push the test to Tuesday IF there is a snow day Friday and we have no school.  Please always feel free to contact me with any questions!

Sneak Peak at Volcanoes....Cool Stuff Coming Up in Class!

Mt. Fuji.....know what type of volcano this is??  You will find out!

Mt. St. Helens, any guesses on what type this one is?  Would you want to vacation or live near it?

Big Island of Hawaii, what type is this?  I am not even going to ask if you would want to live by this one!  Duh!

Plate Boundary Data Maps

Here are the plate boundary data maps that you need to use for the type III writing in class.  We will have about 15-20 min. of work time at the start of class tomorrow.  Make sure you use 3 pieces of data from each location you describe.  Feel free to comment or e-mail with any questions.
