Geology is here! What is the rock cycle? How do mountains form? Imagine earthquakes and volcanoes suddenly shifting the shape of our planet. Other changes take place slowly through plate tectonics, weathering, and erosion. Discover how Earth has changed over time, and get ready to rock!
P.S. Fieldtrip to Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum on January 20, 2009!

- Plate tectonics - including convergent, divergent and transform boundaries "The plates are moving around like cars in a demolition derby, which means they sometimes crash together, pull apart, or sideswipe each other. The place where the two plates meet is called a plate boundary." For more information about these crashes, see http://www.cotf.edu/ete/modules/msese/earthsysflr/plates1.html
