Tuesday, October 28, 2008

Tuesday's schedule is C-D-Lunch-B-A.

D - Geography 12 - Today we look at Mass Wasting (falls, slides, and flows). We will figure out the causes of Mass Wasting by looking at both the driving and resisting forces on hillsides and slopes. We will try to figure out some slope stabilization practices and specifically we'll look at what has been done at Goose Spit to stop erosion of the Willemar Bluffs along Balmoral Beach. We'll also review the problems of the Sea to Sky highway (Hwy 99 from West Vancouver to Squamish). You will define rock fall, debris avalanche, landslide, mudflow, and soil creep and work on questions 27 & 32 from page 443 in your Geosystems text.

B- Earth and Space Science 11 - Today we'll continue our work on volcanoes by looking at magma formation and magma behaviour. There will be a few notes with a diagram or two and then you'll need to work on "For Review" questions 2-8 and "For Discussion" questions 1& 2 from page 194 in your Earth Science and the Environment textbook. While you are working on your questions, I'll show you some footage of the different types of lava at Kilauea so that you can see how it moves and flows.

A - Law 12 - Today we will continue with our look at the Controlled Drug and Substances Act and drug related offences in Canada. We'll discuss some cases (R. v. Silveria, 1995, and R. v. Zammit, 1993) and you'll need to work through some questions on page 218 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 7) and page 220 (2 & 3). Tomorrow we'll look at drinking and driving and driving under the influence of a narcotic.
