the
tree

detectives
are
troubled
by
a
strange
tremor
in
the
area,
and
they
decide
that
they
need
to
investigate
earthquakes.
They
delve
into
geography,
geology,
and
plate
tectonics
to
discover
why
they're
all
shook
up.

This
lithograph
shows
the
break-off
of
a
large
iceberg
from
the
Pine
Island
Glacier
in
West
Antarctica.
This
event
occurred
between
November
4th
and
12th,
2001,
and
provides
powerful
evidence
of
rapid
changes
underway
in
this

In
this
lesson,
students
will
examine
a
historical
Category
5
hurricane,
Hurricane
Rita,
that
crossed
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
during
September
18-24,
2005.
First,
they
will
use
the
MY
NASA
DATA
Live
Access
Server
to
obtain
sea
surface
temperature
(SST)
data
maps
of
the
Gulf
of
Mexico.
Then,
they
will
construct
a
time
series
of
SST
data
(line

for
a
location
within
the
path
of
the

In
this
lesson
students
will
build
on
knowledge
gained
in
the
Hurricane
Research
lesson
and
the
Hurricane
Frequency
and
Intensity
Lesson.
Specifically,
they
will
discuss
the
interaction
(pathway)
between
a
specific
'sphere'
and
the
'event'
(hurricane).
Working
in
groups,
students
will
be
assigned
a
specific
sphere
to
look
at
more
closely
in
relation
to
hurricanes.
When
all

are
finished,

Researchers
have
identified
approximately
140
individual
impact
craters
on
Earth.
These
craters
probably
represent
only
about
25
percent
of
those
to
be
found.
Assuming
an
equal
rate
of
impact
around
the
globe,
many
more
craters
remain
to
be
discovered,
particularly
in
remote
land
regions
of
our
planet
and
in
the
oceans.
This
activity
uses

In this lesson, students will examine authentic NASA satellite data to explore how hurricanes extract heat energy from the ocean surface. They will practice finding data via the Internet and make line plots and data maps. Students will understand how hurricanes gain energy from the ocean surface. They will form a hypothesis, compare data parameters and draw conclusions.
