Young, Greg

Explores the work of Alfred Wegener, focusing on his theory of plate tectonics and how it has influenced the study of landforms.

A literature unit for use with "The Magic School Bus Inside a Hurricane," featuring pre- and post-reading activities, a biographical sketch of the author, a book summary, activity-oriented lessons, a unit assessment, and an annotated list of related books and materials.

Offers students an overview of plate tectonics, discussing how the Earth's plates move on a bed of molten magma under the Earth's surface and how that movement creates landforms such as mountains and trenches and cause volcanoes and tsunamis.
