Respond to the following scenario:
o Your younger brother is in 5th grade. He comes home and tells you to look at an animation his teacher showed him in geology class.
o Review the Continents of the Past animation on this week¡¦s aXcess page.
o After viewing the animation, your brother has a look of disbelief on his face, ¡§C¡¦mon, really? Our whole continent moves? That¡¦s bogus!¡¨ Instead of blowing him off like you usually do, you decide to sit down and educate him about plate tectonics. First, you give him an overview about two historical figures that contributed to the plate tectonic theory. Then, you decide to show him how the plates move by boiling a pot of water (shown on p. 108) and relating it to mantle convection and plate movement.
„h Write a 200- to 300-word summary about the two historical figures and the process of mantle convection and plate movement.


could yellowstone national park and san andres fault be a histioral figure?if so then i just have to explain them and explain mantle convection and plat emovement?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Historical figures are people who figured out and/or contributed to plate tectonic theory.

Answered by scooby91320002
ok so find the people who figured it out then talk about their life?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yep. That's right.
Answered by bobpursley
Historical figure refers to plate tectonic scientists. Yes, then explain mantle convection and plate movement.

ok thanks wehn i get part of it done can you tell me if I am correct?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Sure. :-)
Answered by scooby91320002
is alfred wegener and harry hess? the 2 figures?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. Wegener and Hess are two of the prominent scientists who developed this theory.
Answered by bobpursley
yes, those are two.
Answered by scooby91320002
what about J. H. Hodgson? so now that i have the stwo i just alk about their lives then?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. J.H. Hodgson was also a historical figure in plate tectonics. You have two historical figures to write about and the process of mantle conduction and plate movement.

Let's review your instructions.
