How can we stop climate change?
What is the ring of fire?
The Ring of Fire is a horseshoe-shaped belt around the Pacific Ocean where many volcanoes and earthquakes are formed
What is the next topic we are studying in humanities
a changing world
how long APPROX does it take for an island formation to happen
thousands to millions of years
what is the symbol for a town and for a mountain/volcano
town= small black square
mountain/volcano= small triangle
How does climate change lead to islands being lost to the ocean/ sinking
climate change= increase in temperature
increase in temperature= icebergs melting
icebergs melting= more water in ocean
more water in ocean= sea levels rising
why might there be more natural disasters in the ring of fire
The Ring of Fire experiences higher activity because it is surrounded by plate boundaries. This is where plates are moving and bumping into one another. Causes earthquakes and hotspots.

Name the four types of Island formations covered in HUM so far.

What is the purpose of a scale
to allow the user of the map to see the true size of the area by comparing it to the measurement
what island case study did we look at in regards to climate change?
Kiribati
What is subduction
One way the Tetonic plates meet and move is subduction. This is when the plates slide under another
Subduction zones are more likely to cause earthquakes
Subduction occurs when oceanic crust meets continental crust and when oceanic crust meets oceanic crust.
