Learning Domain: The Physical Setting
Standard: Earthquakes often occur along the boundaries between colliding plates, and molten rock from below creates pressure that is released by volcanic eruptions, helping to build up mountains. Under the ocean basins, molten rock may well up between separating plates to create new ocean floor. Volcanic activity along the ocean floor may form undersea mountains, which can thrust above the ocean's surface to become islands.

Learning Domain: The Physical Setting
Standard: The interior of the earth is hot. Heat flow and movement of material within the earth cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and create mountains and ocean basins. Gas and dust from large volcanoes can change the atmosphere.

Science Domain: Earth and Space Sciences
Topic: Earth's Systems
Standard: Develop a model based on evidence of Earth’s interior to describe the cycling of matter by thermal convection. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on both a one-dimensional model of Earth, with radial layers determined by density, and a three-dimensional model, which is controlled by mantle convection and the resulting plate tectonics. Examples of evidence include maps of Earth’s three-dimensional structure obtained from seismic waves, records of the rate of change of Earth’s magnetic field (as constraints on convection in the outer core), and identification of the composition of Earth’s layers from high-pressure laboratory experiments.]

Utility of Materials Designed to Support Teaching: Strong (2)
I found the questions developed for the video excellent starting points for further discussion and analysis.

Quality of Instructional and Practice Exercises: Strong (2)
All questions required written answers. I believe this to be a strong component as writing will be required on the new GED test in subject areas.
