Reflection: Plate Boundaries

What I did in my group about constructive boundaries: we put together the information in the iMovie, what I did was the explanation and the description of the constructive boundary and how it works, Hakeem putting the iMovie, Rizq finding the locations and Brendan describing about the hazards. We enjoyed doing the iMovie even though it is hard work.

Reflection: Structure of the Earth

From the past lessons I have learned about the Earth structure in detail and its behavior. I find it very fascinating how geologists and scientists gather information especially about continental drift and the plate tectonics. With the help of interactive learning diagrams/ videos I could understand the lesson better.

I know plate tectonics with plate boundaries in general.

I want to know why Wegener's theory was not readily accepted, is it because of his nationality? I want to know more about the formation about the Red Sea Rift.

I learned about the continental drift theory and its proven facts, Wegener and his theory and his findings in his expedition, lastly I learned about how scientists and geologists gather information under and above the sea.
