Description

In this exercise, students will use an Interactive Geologic map of Arizona to discover what types of rocks, faults, and ages of those rocks are. They will read about the different environments that Arizona has had over the ages. They will also get a review on words like conglomerate, intrusions, sill, igneous and sedimentary rocks.

There are two versions found in the Google Doc. One version opens to an interactive geologic map and the other opens up to a very detailed PDF version of the geologic map. I prefer the interactive map but if your computers aren't able to open up the interactive version the PDF version works just fine.

Consider purchasing other activities that use maps:

NGSSHS-ESS1-5
Evaluate evidence of the past and current movements of continental and oceanic crust and the theory of plate tectonics to explain the ages of crustal rocks. Emphasis is on the ability of plate tectonics to explain the ages of crustal rocks. Examples include evidence of the ages oceanic crust increasing with distance from mid-ocean ridges (a result of plate spreading) and the ages of North American continental crust decreasing with distance away from a central ancient core of the continental plate (a result of past plate interactions).
