Dynamic Earth: Understanding the Processes Affecting Earth's Crust
Among the most dramatic events on Earth are volcanic eruptions and
earthquakes, which are also among the most dangerous and damaging
natural occurrences in human experience. While they seem instantaneous
and limited in where they happen, volcanoes and earthquakes are actually
the result of processes that take place over very long time spans and
very great distances. In this course we will learn about the
interactions among Earth systems that result in dynamic processes within
and on the surface of our planet. We will explore online resources that
can be used to teach about these Earth system interactions, as well as
inquiry-based approaches to helping students understand them.
