Earthquakes/Volcanoes

 

In Te Maunga we did a reading called Earthquakes/Volcanoes and obviously it was about earthquakes, volcanoes and there's a lot of things we need to do.  We learn about why earthquakes happen like: Earthquakes happen because the surface of Earth is called the crust, not one solid piece; it's like a 20 thousands piece puzzle. Earth puzzle pieces are called tectonic plates. The plates can move but they don’t move fast. Earthquakes happen when a plate bumps or drags along another plate. My favourite thing to learn was writing a report and we had to choose earthquakes or volcanoes and I chose earthquakes. The hard thing was answering all the questions.
