ACTIVITY 1:

1. Which lines in the lyrics relate to the lesson?

A whole new world (don't you dare close your eyes)
A hundred thousand things to see (hold your breath, it gets better)
I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far I can't go back to where I
used to be- Our globe was not separated in ancient times and was
known as Pangea. We may observe that Pangea is a wonderful
home of ours with many various things to view till it began to
separate and was named the new world where people make a life.
2. What is the song's message?
It's always darkest immediately before the lovely sunrise that
ushers you into a new day and a whole new universe. Today is that
new day, and you're entering a lovely new world with new
objectives, dreams, and energy to enjoy it. Be thankful, brave, and
open to new chances, with a strong desire to achieve. It is a New
Day! The darkest night has long passed! Yesterday has passed us
by! Tomorrow is but a figment of one's imagination! So, have fun
today! Take advantage of this opportunity! As you enter into your
New World today, welcome the New Day!
3. Name adjectives describing the characteristics of the earth from the
lyrics?
Shining, shimmering, splendid- This set of adjectives reflects on
our wonderful planet. The planet is a great place to live, and it is
possible to be happy there.
A new fantastic point of view- The world is amazing; there are
hundreds or thousands of gorgeous things to view.
A dazzling place I never knew - The earth is a masterpiece. Earth is
the only planet of the eight that has life for humans and other
living things.
Unbelievable sights- There are a lot to see on our planet Earth. We
don't know how many species exist that we can't see with our eyes.
4. What is your understanding of this lesson?
Plate tectonics is the primary cause of change in active ocean
basins. The theory of plate tectonics is used to describe the
dynamics of the earth's surface caused by the interaction of the
upper rigid plates with the beneath mantle. The earth, according to
the hypothesis, has a solid outer layer known as the crust. A fresh
rift and oceanic ridge emerged between Greenland and Europe
around 60 million years ago, separating them and commencing the
creation of oceanic crust in the Norwegian Sea and the Eurasian
basin in the eastern Arctic Ocean. Seafloor spreading in the
Labrador Sea halted less than 30 million years ago.
5. Enumerate at least three (3) land or ocean formations as a result of
the plate movements?
Deep ocean trenches
Volcanoes
Island arcs
Submarine mountain ranges
Fault lines
6. Suggest ways to preserve Earth's diverse surface formation?
Concern for the environment might seem daunting, but there are
steps anyone can take to help protect the natural world. Begin by
looking for methods to safeguard your own community and
neighborhood's land base and rivers. It's also critical to decrease
your personal carbon footprint and consume in a sustainable
manner. Join an environmental advocacy group. You may increase
the effect of your action by collaborating with people who care
about the environment. Being a part of an activist organization can
help you stay up to date on any changes in environmental laws or
legal threats to natural areas.
7. Do you think that our planet exists with the evolution of time,
leading to a "NEW WORLD"
Continents and seas host recognizable life-forms because they are
surrounded by an oxygen-rich atmosphere. This stability, however,
is an illusion created by the human experience of time. The Earth
and its atmosphere are constantly changing. Plate tectonics
change continents, create mountains, and shift the ocean bottom,
while unfathomable mechanisms modify the climate. Such
continual evolution has been a feature of Earth since its inception
some 4.5 billion years ago. Heat and gravity affected the planet's
development from the beginning. The worldwide repercussions of
 the emergence of life gradually joined these forces. Exploring the
past is our only chance of understanding the origins of life and,
possibly, its future.

ACTIVITY 2:

1. What does figure 7 represent?

PANGEA- in early geologic time, a supercontinent that
incorporated almost all the landmasses on earth.
TRIAASIC- during this period the first dinosaurs walked on land,
the first pterosaurs sailed through skies, and the first ichthyosaurs
and plesiosaurs swam in the oceans. The lineage of many modern
day reptiles began in the Triassic period, including crocodiles,
lizards, and turtles.
JURRASIC- marked by the presence of dinosaurs and the first
appearance of birds- see Geologic Time Table.
CRETACEOUS- the last of the three periods of the Mesozoic Era. It
is the longest period of the Phanerozoic Eon. It represents more
time than has elapsed since the extinction of the dinosaurs, which
occurred at the end of the period.
PRESENT DAY- Earth today is commonly seen as feminine, the
great mother; nourishment, fertility, infinite creativity, and/or
longevity.
2. Do you agree in the picture that our planet was once made up of a
supercontinent? Cite evidences to support your answer.
Pangea, often called Pangaea, was a supercontinent that included
almost all of Earth's landmasses in early geologic time. Pangea was
surrounded by Panthalassa, a worldwide ocean, and it was fully
formed by the Early Permian Epoch (some 299 million to about
273 million years ago).
There are a variety of forces pushing and pulling the plates in
various directions, and indeed that's what keeps Earth's crust from
being one solid landmass - the interaction of lithosphere and
asthenosphere keeps tearing landmasses apart, albeit very, very
slowly. There are two types of crust: oceanic crust and continental
crust. Let's start with the basics - rocky planets like Earth have
five interior levels: heading outwards, these are the inner core,
outer core, mantle, upper mantle, and the crust. The crust and the
part of the upper mantle form the lithosphere, a portion of our
planet that is basically rigid, solid rock and runs to about 100
 kilometers below the planet's surface. The lithosphere is divided
into roughly two dozen major and minor plates, and these plates
move very slowly over the almost fluid-like asthenosphere.
Predictably enough, oceanic crust makes up the ocean beds and is
much thinner than its continental counterparts. Geologically
speaking, it's easy to look at Pangaea as a counterpart of sorts to
the seven continents we live on today, with the twin giant
continents of Gondwanaland and Laurasia as a transitional stage
between these two extremes.
