WHAT IS A FAULT?
A fault is a crack in the Earth's crust.

Warm-Up # 69 – What are three factors that affect how violent an
eruption will be?

Warm-Up # 69 – What are three factors that affect how violent an
eruption will be?1) Water Vapor: More water vapor = bigger explosion2) Trapped Gasses
• How easily the gas escapes determines how violent the explosion
• Easy escape = quiet eruption• Difficult to escape = explosive eruption
3) Magma Type• Basaltic Magma = quiet explosion • Granitic/Andesitic = violent eruptions

Answer the question …Answer the question …
WARM – UP #70
Why does a
volcano erupt?
![Page 7: A. During an earthquake, the most violent shaking occurs at the vent focus Ring of Fire](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812cf3550346895d91c123/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The answer is…
1. Two of earth crust plates collide with one plate going under the other plate.
2. The impact causes friction in the earth’s crust.
3. The pressure caused by the friction makes the rocks under the plates melt and help the magma rise.

What is the difference between chemical weathering and mechanical weathering?During chemical weathering, the substance of the rock physically
changes. Mechanical weathering causes a breakdown of rocks without a change in
chemical composition.

WARM-Up # 73
What is Mechanical weathering? Give two examples.
Mechanical weathering is the process of breaking down of rock by physical changes.
Examples: frost action, actions of plants and animals

WARM-Up # 74
Weathering involves processes that decompose rocks. Weathering
processes occur in place. No movement is involved in
weathering. As soon as a rock particle moves,
we call it erosion. We call it erosion if the rock particle is
moved by some flowing agent such as air, water or ice.
What is the difference between erosion and weathering?

WARM-Up # 75THINK ROCKS & WEATHERING
Prediction: What is ice wedging?When water in cracks in rocks freezes and expands.
Prediction: What is abrasion? The action of rocks grinding against each other and
wearing away exposed surfaces.
Prediction: What is differential weathering?Process by which softer rocks are worn away leaving
harder, more weather resistant rocks.

• What is water called that is NOT soaked up by the ground?
RUNOFF

Warm-Up # 77
What is the process of weathered materials being
moved by wind, water, gravity or ice?
EROSION

WARM-UP # 78WHAT ARE THE THREE
TYPES OF ROCKS?
1. Igneous2. Sedimentary3. Metamorphic
![Page 16: A. During an earthquake, the most violent shaking occurs at the vent focus Ring of Fire](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812cf3550346895d91c123/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
WARM-UP # 79What is the difference between and
extrusive igneous rock and an intrusive igneous rock? How can you tell by looking at them? Give an example of each type.
![Page 17: A. During an earthquake, the most violent shaking occurs at the vent focus Ring of Fire](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812cf3550346895d91c123/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Intrusive igneous rocks form below the Earth’s surface. AKA plutonic. Most intrusive rocks have large, crystals. Example: Granite
WARM-UP # 79Extrusive igneous rocks form when magma makes its way to Earth's surface. AKA volcanics. Extrusive rocks have small crystals. Example: basalt

What processes can break down a metamorphic rock into
sediments?Erosion and weathering

How are sedimentary rocks classfied?
Sedimentary rocks are classified by their composition and by the manner in which
they formed. The three types of sedimentary rocks are
DetritalChemicalOrganic
