VOLCANOES – COMPLETE THESE OBJECTIVES: E3.4 Earthquakes and VolcanoesPlate motions result in potentially catastrophic events (earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, mass wasting) that affect humanity. The intensity of volcanic eruptions is controlled by the chemistry and properties of the magma. Earthquakes are the result of abrupt movements of the Earth. They generate energy in the form of body and surface waves.E3.4A Use the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes to locate and determine the types of plate boundaries.E3.4B Describe how the sizes of earthquakes and volcanoes are measured or characterized.E3.4C Describe the effects of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions on humans.

Cambrian explosion of life, ozone layer as UV shield 400 Ma ago, removal of iron from the oceans – oceans turn blue, removal of CO2 from the atmosphere – replaced by oxygen – sky turns blue, formation of an oxygen atmosphere, coprolite.End of class: Read the article “Forget about the Space Race, there was a drilling Race during the Cold War . . .” on the back of these plans and write down 2 facts about it (article is also in both the “Lesson Plans” tab and the “Worksheets” tab of my site). Please use the space below to answer these questions about the article for tomorrow:

1. Why do you think that there was this drilling race? Use evidence from the article to support your claim.

2. Why didn’t we wind up with a mantle plume or volcanic explosion when such deep holes were put into the crust? Use the structure of the earth’s layers to defend your answer.

the energy goes up by 32 for each jump on the Richter and Moment magnitude scale, o P. 243 - #3 and #5 (both relate to the Great California Shake Out), o P. 260 - #1 and 4 (Don’t worry about 2 and 3, those aren’t part of our objective)o P. 269 - #1-5 (remember, you should already know most of this and not need to write it down, just

read the questions so you know what types of things I can ask.)o P. 273 – what is the name we give to mudflows?o P. 276 – “Check your reading” question – read the pageo P. 278 - #3, 5, 6o P. 283 - # 4, 7, 8 (the other ones should be mighty simple for you)

22 Dec: Log: What is the relationship between continental and oceanic crust, silica content, and the typical locations of shield and composite volcanoes?Classwork: Finish yesterday’s videos as needed. Watch 3 min video – “What Are The Odds of A Supervolcano Explosion?” Also Watch the minute or so of the “Thin Lava Video” and explain where such a video might have been made and what sort of silica content and gases would be present in such a volcano. Finish Test Review – Bring your Workbook and Text book to class today!

TEST on volcanoes, earthquakes, and plate tectonics is on _______!!

9 Jan: Logs: 1. EXPLAIN the relationship of silica content to explosivity of volcanoes. Also, decide whether granitic crust or basaltic crust will have more silica in it and EXPLAIN your reasoning. 2. What would it take to get a lahar on a dry composite volcano like Krakatoa? 3. What’s another name for a stratovolcano? What does “strato” mean?Classwork: “Volcanoes Jeopardy” review for test

10 Jan: Test Reviews begin – matching game from Mr. Pensari.

: MEET IN LAB 3, Room 227Classwork, part 1: Finish “Exploring Google Earth” (e.e.), on the back of “Earthquake Activity” from last week.Classwork, Part 2: In your test/quiz section, answer “Earthquakes Review” ppt, questions in my outbox. (will also be posted on my website). I need to add questions for Volcanoes.Homework: Finish your Earthquake Review ppt, go over the “Plate Tectonics Test” questions I will use again (question numbers: 2, 5-8, 11-12, 21-23), as well as those used again from “Earthquakes Quiz #1” (#31, 33, 34, 37, 38, 40)

24 Feb: Classwork: Tie up loose ends, discuss info from yesterday as needed. Classwork, part 1: POSTPONED FROM 2-3 Feb due to snow days: Peer editing of the “Exit poll” summaries that you wrote about P and S waves on 29-30 Jan. Items to look for/what to do: 1. Check these items off as you edit your partner’s paper.2. Highlight any items missing from the summary (don’t highlight the “Add today” the ones at end of the list)

□ earthquake□ body waves□ s-p lag time = p wave arrival time□ speed of S waves□ speed of P waves □ transverse/longitudinal□ transverse drawing □ longitudinal drawing□ can only go through solids□ can go through solids and liquids

□ stress□ refraction□ seismometer□ energy vs. direction of wave (parallel or

perpendicular)□ __________________________________□ Add today: surface waves□ Add today: most damaging□ Add today: similar to water waves□ Add today: slowest waves

Classwork, part 2: Add a paragraph for surface wavesClasswork/Homework: On a fresh sheet of paper, make and prepare to share 3 story problems that will fill in a

blank 3-line, 4-column data chart like the chart on “Shake and Quake” – make the blank data chart, too. (Due Fri, 20 Feb, put answers on back of your sheet of paper, or where they can’t be seen by students viewing the questions, the paper itself goes with “Shake and Quake in the e.e. section of your binder). Don’t forget, the equation is d = r x t, with “d” being the epicenter distance, “r” is the P wave speed (typically 5 km/sec) and “t” is the S-P lag time, which can be determined in several ways (most commonly, you just double the time it took the P waves to get to your spot).

25 Feb (was 2 Feb) Log: While I give you credit for your “Shake-and-Quake-style” story problems from 19 Feb, use them in your groups to quiz each other. Swap the papers so that each person has somebody else’s paper, then make a data chart and then answer the questions on a sheet of your own paper, indicating whose data chart you have copied/questions you have answered. Discuss the results. Help each other as needed!

3 Mar: Classwork: Test on Earthquakes and Volcanoes, plus some repeat questions from Plate Tectonics.Classwork/homework: Begin Geologic Time – be sure to bring your textbook and workbook.
