Dynamic Earth

Today in science class we learned about the earth and its structure. We focused on the 3 sections dealing with gems and minerals, Rocks and mining, plate tectonics and volcanoes. It was inserting since everything was in a visual format. In the first section we learned how diamonds and minerals are formed and how they can become a gem. In the second section we covered the history of mining and excavation. In the last section we looked into tectonic plates and how they affect earth's surface for example if tectonic plates crash into each other they form mountains or islands. This was very amusing and I hope we will do something like this again.
