This presentation contains informative slides with valuable content. Tectonic activity and hazards. PowerPoint presentation by . Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF)UK. Schools Team: Mary Doherty and Severa von . Wentzel. March 2013. . MSF. Geography Working Group. Structure of the Earth. The Earth is made up of 3 main layers:. Core. Mantle. Crust. Inner core. Outer core. Mantle. Crust. The Crust. This is where we live!. The Earth’s crust is made of:. Continental Crust. Standard . S6E5.d . Recognize that lithospheric plates constantly move and cause major geological events on the earth’s surface.. What You Will Learn. Describe the three types of tectonic plate boundaries. . OR. Control of margin dynamics by sediments, part 4: erosion and transport. Alex Densmore. Department of Geography & Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience. Durham University. Sanjeev discussed sedimentary basins as bathtubs that evolve and fill over geological time scales, and (importantly) preserve a record of the detritus from margin evolution. The Most Amazingly Radical Tectonic Area Project . M.A.R.T.A.. Skype Session . With Ranger Mike from Yellowstone National Park kicked off the project.. He spoke to students about how important what goes on inside the Earth is to Yellowstone.. What to do: identify the features in the photos, make notes about landforms, describe and explain case studies . Levelled Objectives. . (What are we learning?). L1. identify tectonic landforms. L2. describe & explain landforms. Traditional Surveying uses . benchmarks . as reference points.
