Honors 1360 Planet Earth
Last time:
Hyp: Earthquakes release accumulated stress & strain Obs: Earthquake “sequences” (Sumatra, Turkey) where large stress changes following one event favor anotherObs: “Slow fault slip” events, harmonic (seismic) tremor
May someday be possible to predict EQs; need improved understanding of physics & MUCH better measurements

Global Volcanism (last 10,000 years)
Note: There are more under the oceans!

1.i: Extension at mid ocean ridges, continental rifts:
Deep rock moves upward to fill the space createdcarrying heat with it!

1.ii: Bring hot rock to the base of the lithosphere by convection (mantle plume or “hotspot”)
E.g., Yellowstone, Hawaii!

If it forms in the mantle, why does it come to the surface? Basalts: --found at mid-ocean ridges, hotspots, continental rifts Oceanic crust is entirely made of basalt/gabbro
Andesites: --found mostly over subduction zones
Silicic Volcanoes: --usually in continental rifting settings, continental hotspots

Why different compositions?
Magma rises to level of neutral buoyancy in the crust!
Large enough melt body can fractionate (lighter melt fraction floats to top)
Need some combination of hotter magma, more silicic magma, and/or more dense crust to get all the way to surface!
Intrusion!
![Page 14: Honors 1360 Planet Earth Last time: Hyp : Earthquakes release accumulated stress & strain](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56814deb550346895dbb5b51/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Volcanism & Intrusion important because:
• Transports lighter components of mantle upward to form crust
• Cycles Volatile components (water, CO2, SO2 etc.) back into the atmosphere/hydrosphere (would completely recycle every ~1.5 billion years!)
• Concentrates resources (geothermal and mineral)

Major Volcano Landforms:
Basaltic: Shield volcanoes, cinder cones
Andesitic:stratovolcanoes(Mt Rainier,Mt St Helens)
Rhyolitic: Large Calderas (Taal, Yellowstone)

Interesting Aside:• Calderas characterized by “unrest” (changing deformation…)• Since we’ve never seen a caldera eruption, would we know what to look for?
