9:15 - 11:50 A Block Physical Geography
12:30 - 3:05 D Block Legal Studies
A Block Physical Geography - Today I have the library reserved for the class so that you may finish work on your Orting College development project. I'll have some previous examples of student work for you to look at and need to remind you that this assignment is due on Tuesday; it is crucial that you hand it in to me as we will be at the end of our unit. Last chance...get it done.
A note about your test next week, look over the weeks one through three note/assignment packages and the review below to see what you should prepare for. You should expect questions on:
- Understand a simple cross-section of the Earth to show the parts of the lithosphere, and describe the nature of those layers within the Earth; Inner and Outer Core; Mantle (Mesosphere, Asthenosphere, and Mohorovicic discontinuity); and Lithosphere (Oceanic and Continental Crust). What is Convection Theory, in regards to the movement of the crust?
- Differentiate the rock types, igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. Give examples of each type of rock, as well as environments where they may commonly be found. Describe and understand a sketch the rock cycle.
- Understand and label a cross-section of the plate boundaries with the following features: Subduction, Volcano, Plutonic features, Igneous rock (Granite & Diorite, Rhyolite & Andesite, Gabbro & Basalt), Metamorphic rock, Sedimentary deposits, Oceanic Trench, Mid-Ocean Ridge/Rift, Continental Crust, SIAL, Oceanic Crust, SIMA, Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Convection cell
- Describe the impact (and give example locations) of a Convergent plate boundary in a continent-oceanic crust impact, continent-continent crust impact, oceanic-oceanic crust impact. Describe the effects (and give example locations) of a Divergent plate boundary in a oceanic-oceanic crust separation, continent-continent crust separation. Describe the effects (and give example locations) of a Transform plate boundary in a oceanic-oceanic crust event and a continent-continent crust event
- Describe the effects of Diastrophic movements on human activity (*)
- Describe ways in which earthquakes may be generated. Understand sketch block diagrams to help define the following Fault types: Normal fault; Reverse fault; Strike/Slip fault. Define and give an example of a Transform fault. Understand a sketch of and define an Earthquake's Epicentre and Focus.
- Understand the following scales in terms of Intensity and Magnitude: Richter scale and Mercalli scale
- What is a Megathrust earthquake? What is the definition of a shallow, intermediate, and deep earthquake? Which is the most dangerous, generally speaking? What is the cause of a Tsunami? What dangers does it pose?
- Describe mountain growth in terms of: Folding and Faulting (Horst and Graben). Define and understand a diagram of Anticlines and Synclines
- Distinguish between the different types of volcanoes (in terms of size, shape, location, examples of, etc.): Shield Volcano, Cinder Cone, and Composite Volcano (A.K.A. Stratovolcano) Compare the following eruption zones, and give examples of each: Rift (oceanic & continental), Hot Spot, Subduction Boundary (Island Arc & Mountain Chain). Describe by example the effects of a volcanic eruption, i.e., human impact, impact on climate, force of eruption etc. List and describe, a minimum of three dangers of volcanoes, including, Nuée ardente, and Lahar. List and describe three benefits of volcanoes.
D Block Legal Studies - Today we'll start looking at arrests and warrants in Canada. Our focus will be on the options police have if they believe a suspect has committed a crime, in this we'll talk about appearance notices & arrests (both warrant-less and warrant arrests)
Section 495 of the criminal code grants the police the power to arrest someone when:
Most warrants are only valid within the province where they have been obtained and many of those warrants will have restrictions setting out a kilometer radius. It is also possible to obtain an arrest warrant that applies across Canada, however this is much harder to do. We'll also talk about the duties of police officers. From the All About Law textbook:
This is relevant due to the 2014 lack of indictment by a grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri in the shooting death of Michael Brown. Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was killed by a white police officer, Darren Wilson, on August 9th, 2014. Lawyers for Brown's family say the teen was trying to surrender when he was shot, while Wilson's supporters say he feared for his life and opened fire in self-defense. Brown was shot at least six times. Brown was suspected of having stolen cigars from a nearby convenience store shortly before the incident. Brown and a friend had been walking down the middle of the street when Wilson approached them. The grand jury could have indicted Wilson on charges of manslaughter or murder, however they concluded there was not enough evidence to charge him. After Michael Brown was killed by police in Ferguson, Mo., a Washington Post investigation found that the FBI undercounted fatal police shootings by more than half. This is because reporting by police departments is voluntary and many departments fail to do so.
We'll talk about the rights of police officers in connection to the Brown case and we'll work in partners on questions 3, 4, and 5 from page 149 along with questions 2, 3 & 4 from page 154 of the AAL text.
Section 495 of the criminal code grants the police the power to arrest someone when:
- they have reasonable grounds to believe the person has committed or is about to commit an indictable offence;
- they are committing a criminal offence;
- or when they have reasonable grounds to believe that there is a warrant for that person’s arrest.
Most warrants are only valid within the province where they have been obtained and many of those warrants will have restrictions setting out a kilometer radius. It is also possible to obtain an arrest warrant that applies across Canada, however this is much harder to do. We'll also talk about the duties of police officers. From the All About Law textbook:
Police officers often have to make quick decisions to save lives - their own as well as others. They have to act reasonably because they are held responsible for their conduct and behaviour when carrying out their duties. If they break the rules of police conduct, their evidence may be refused, which can result in an acquittal. In rare situations, the officers involved can be charged under criminal law or sued under civil law (Murphy, Elliott, Mete and Glass; 2009)
This is relevant due to the 2014 lack of indictment by a grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri in the shooting death of Michael Brown. Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was killed by a white police officer, Darren Wilson, on August 9th, 2014.
