Project Part B Practice Warm Up

This warm up will teach you how to tell the geologic past of an area using pictures. This will help you with Project Part B. Today, we'll look at NC's geologic past. For your project you'll chose an area on your invented supercontinent.

Illustrate the following statements with simple line diagrams:

1) The Carolinas were covered by ice.
2) The Carolinas rifted apart from Rodinia.
3) A chain of active volcanoes collided with the Carolinas making mountains.
4) South America and Africa hit the Carolinas causing huge mountains to form.
5) Over time, the mountains shrunk from weathering, erosion, and deposition.

Write and complete these sentences:
1) Rodinia was a _____________continent.
2) NC rifted apart from Rodinia at a ______________ plate boundary.
3) Mountains formed at ________________ plate boundaries.
4) The mountains HAVE or HAVE NOT (chose one) stayed the same height.

Happy Tuesday!
