Readings

  • McConnell, D., & Steer, D. (2015). The good earth: Introduction to earth science (3rd ed.). Boston, MA: McGraw-Hill.
    • Chapter 4, “Plate Tectonics” (pp. 75–104) 

      In this chapter, you will learn more about plate tectonics and forces behind it.

    • Chapter 5, “Earthquakes”
      • 5.3 “Faults, Earthquakes, and Plate Tectonics” (pp. 110–117)
      • 5.6 “Earthquake Hazards” (pp. 126–134)

      Is the area you live in susceptible to earthquakes? Chapter 5 discusses the forces of plate tectonics, faults, earthquakes, and how they affect the planet.

    • Chapter 6, “Volcanoes and Other Mountains”
      • 6.2 “Magma Viscosity” (pp. 142–144)
      • 6.3 “Magma Sources and Magma Composition” (pp. 144–147)
      • 6.5 “Products of Volcanic Eruptions” (pp. 152–160)
