MYP5 Matrix of Completed Tasks for Tectonics Unit - **Abi**

Unsatisfactory/ Satisfactory/ Good/ Excellent || **Teacher Reflection on the unit:** Better work this unit Abi. Some nice case studies completed. Be careful to follow some instructions very carefully. For example I cannot mark the final assessment as it is not done as instructed. **Student Reflection:** My hospital Testing how Strong our Bridge was it went through a 8.2 earthquake  2005 Pakistan Earthquake  ** MOUNT NYIRAGONGO CASE STUDY  **

**What –** Lava burst of from three splits on the flanks of the mountain, it reached to the northern part of the airport so the southern parts of the airport witch meant they could only use 2 third of that part. They where scared that the gas might of caused gas-saturated waters deep in the lake to suddenly rise to the surface **When** - the eruption of mount Nyiragongo took place on January 17, 2002 after it had been acting up for a few months. **Where –** After the volcano erupted, it reached the outskirts of the city of Goma, Capital of Lake Kivu. Lava started flowing 200 to 1000 m wide and up to 2 m deep through Goma. Warnings had been given and 400,000 people were evacuated from the city across the [|Rwandan] border into neighbouring [|Gisenyi] during the eruption **Why-** There is a wide crack in the Earth's crust that runs for miles from Malawi through Tanzania, Kenya, and Ethiopia to the Gulf of Aden. Out of all the volcanoes, Nyiragongo, is one of the most dangerous one’s and because of where it is located it would effect the volcano **who-** About 45 people died in the eruption from poison by [|carbon dioxide] and buildings collapsing from the lava and earthquakes. At least 15% of Goma comprising 4,500 buildings were destroyed, leaving about 120,000 people [|homeless]. The eruption was the most destructive since modern history. It has one of the lowest percentages of doctors 3 good case studies here Abi - good research and presentation. however where is the Nyiragongo case study with the 5 W's AlfredWegener

Alfred Wegener was a German meteorologist, he liked doing dangerous things he gave up astronomy because he didn’t really like to keep still. He read a lot of scientific books to find out more about the earth. He was looking for the atlas on day when he noticed something strange, he noticed that Africa and south America fit together. For fun he came up with an idea that maybe thousands of years ago all the contents where one content, of course he had to get a number of clues to help him

1st clue – he first mezasouraus, it was found in both brazil and south Africa and he knew that creature was to small to swim 5000 thousand miles across the Atlantic.

2nd clue- In the Karoo desert in south Africa he also found a there where glacier scars on the rocks and it didn’t really make any sense, how could glaciers be in the middle of the desert ?

3rd and on the arctic island of Spitsbergen they found cold deposits but also they where clueless because geologist knew that cold deposits could only be found in tropical forest.

When he began to think that all the contents where all joined as one content he called it “Pangera”. When he published his ideas he was criticized by other geologist who thought this idea was impossible. It was unfortunate because he wanted to find out the answer but, but it would not come out in his life time.

Well done Abi - a good summary of his work - By the way its called Pangea
