Today we watched a Brainpop Jr video about slow land changes to understand some of the ways the earth changes. Your homework is to watch the Brainpop Jr video called Fast Land Changes. Don’t worry if you forget the log in details for Brainpop Jr, this is a free video that doesn’t require log in!
While you watch the video, make notes on any information that seems important, interesting or insightful to you. Afterwards, share some ideas from your notes as a comment on this post. You are welcome to watch the video and add your ideas alone, or working with your family.
To refresh yourself on how to leave a Comment-Ninja quality comment, check the rubric in our blogging section.
Please try to watch the video and leave your comment by next Monday, November 25th. If you need more time, please let me know!

The earth have 4 layers Core, Mantel and crust
It is 16 tectonic plates
The tectonic plates have been
pushing each other for millions
and millions of years.
Sometimes the plates slip and
cause an earthquake,
a earthquake can damage much!
Earthquakes can break roads and make landslides.
It happens earthquakes every day
you just don’t feel them
and most go them are small and happens
under the ocean.
A volcano its a mountain with a
vent in there it comes magma,
gases. ash and rocks.

Just as I was making this post, this happened in Japan:
Birth of a new vulcanic island in Japan
Wow I never new that volcanoes have openings from the earths crust. I learned a bit about tsunamis so thats good for my project. I wonder if an earthquake is happening right this second. Is it a big or small one? Hmmmm… Well I liked this homework. I loved the video!!!
I wrote my notes in my journal. I will bring a cool book on volcanoes to school tomorrow.
Earthquakes usually happen near tectonic plates.
whilst watching this video i learned all about volcanoes, flooding, wildfires, landslides and some about tsunami’s, i enjoyed watching this video
Video not working
Wow this video was interesting I found it interesting I never knew volcanoes are important because they bring rich soil I also found it interesting to know wild fires move really fast I always used to think they burn slow I also learned that most volcanoes are not active. From jason ps sorry I said the video did not work it just didn’t work on the iPad
i found that this video covered the basics but i would have liked it to be more complex and interesting. Despite the lack of details i still managed to learn that earth quakes are caused when tectonic plates push together and slip. I also learned that landslides are triggered by earth quakes and that wild fires are sometimes triggered by lightning.
The movie was nice i found it a bit simple and i new most of the things they were talking about. I learned that wild fires are sometimes made by lightning i also learned that earth quakes are made by the plates pushing together.I also found out that volcanos are important because they give the earth rich soil

wow these changes are way different than slow land changes. I learnt all about earthqukes, wildfires, volcanoes and tsunamis. I enjoyed the video.
I really enjoy the video and this are some notes I took.
Earthquakes: When tectonic plates push very slowly
it causes an Earthquake. Earthquakes happen every day but you can’t feel it.
Volcano: A volcano is an opening in the Earths crust. A volcano is made out of molted or melted rock. It erupt through the mantel and into the crust.
Tsunami: A Tsunami happens where it’s dry.
Wildfire: Wildfire happens when a human drops a cigar or natural.
p.s. I liked the video.
Wow this video was really intresting and I learned a lot stuff. I found out that fast land changes are more major and the slow land chanes are minor problem. I also found out that these changes connect to each other like a tectonic plate moving and crashes into each other then a earthqaukes hits the city and then a landslide makes the day worse or maybe a volcano erupts and then it causes the killer wave tsunami. Something else really intresting was that us humans can also cause wildfires.
