Because the questions are pretty easy (I hope), this lab practical is worth 1.5 points. You will need to match the trailer to the explanation as to why the premise of the movie (or detail shown in a portion of a clip) reflects the poor understanding of science by the movie makers. Which movie clip (or portion of a movie clip) makes the mistake of showing no understanding whatsoever of the following earth-science reality:

Correct! This clip (http://links.asu.edu/111LP_BadMovies_NYVolcano) and this clip (http://links.asu.edu/111LP_BadMovies_LAVolcano) . This clip (http://links.asu.edu/111LP_BadMovies_Journey) . I understand that making volcanoes blow up in LA and New York can be fun for movie makers. But how stupid do they think the audience truly is? Maybe I shouldn't ask that question.  Question 2 0.5 / 0.5 pts that volcanic activity is found most commonly in plate tectonic settings of extension and compression. Here are 4 links to trailers of different disaster movies, of varying quality. One of these depicts an historical event that actually occurred. The other three are fictional. You can pause this lab practical and do research on your own to determine which disaster movie is an attempt to portray a real event?

The wave Earthquake Greenland The film’s concept is based around a real situation, as Geiranger is a real town that faces possible destruction due to rock-slides that can cause tsunamis (hundreds have been killed by this in the past). While the exact specifics may have been dramatized to fit a cinematic narrative, it is nice to take a step back from planet-sized threats. However, despite stakes based more around one piece of land, the writers and director Roar Uthaug does not shy away from reveling in every cliché you’d expect from a film about a giant tsunami.  Question 3 0.5 / 0.5 pts This clip (http://links.asu.edu/111LP_BadMovies_Journey) . Correct! This clip (http://links.asu.edu/111LP_BadMovies_IceAge4) from 1 minute to about 1:30 seconds.

Furthermore, the movement of plates occurs at rates of centimeters per year, not meters per second.

The squirrel running around inside the inner core horrified me (just a bit), because I was (and am) worried that a generation of kids who watched this would think that the movement of tectonic plates works this way. It does not. Its not related to the inner core, and movement is about as fast as the rate at which your fingernails grow. Quiz Score: 1.5 out of 1.5
