September 26Put the list of topics in your binder (the handouts section)
Bellringer
Q: In what other area of APES can you relate convection currents? And how?
MA:
CA:
Soil lab is moved back a bit since we should talk about plate tectonics a little more so the two topics don’t run together

September 28Turn in your lab if you didn’t yesterday.
Finally answer the guiding question:
What made Mt. Vesuvius erupt?
Use all of the following vocabulary words in your explanation - convectıon currents, tectonıc plates, asthenosphere, lıthosphere,
subductıon, and seafloor spreadıng.
P.s. Were you absent for the population quiz, test, or test corrections? Be sure to make them up by this Friday!

What made Mt. Vesuvius erupt?Differential heating in the asthenosphere (core is hotter than the crust) creates convection currents in the magma. This magma
causes the movement of the tectonic plates (the broken pieces of the cold lithosphere) via seafloor spreading. New magma bubbles up at rifts and ridges on the ocean floor that pushes old rock further from the ridge, while the other end of the plate is being subducted and begins the cycle again. At plate boundaries, we see volcanoes and
earthquakes due to the movement of the plates in different directions.
In the case of Mt. Vesuvius, the Eurasian plate is subducting under the African plate, melting the rock and causing it to bubble up and
explode as a volcano.

Geologic Time Scale- The organization of Earth’s past based on major geologic
and paleontological events. - Eons → Eras → Periods → Epochs → Stages - Key principles:
- Rock layers (strata) are laid down in succession - Principle of superposition - any given layer is probably
older than the one above it and younger than the one below it
![Page 8: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Geologic Time Scale- 3 complications
- 1) layers can become eroded, distorted, tilted, or inverted
- 2) layers laid down at the same time in different areas can look differently
- 3) a layer only represents part of Earth’s history

Crust- The cold brittle shell
- Floats on top of the mantle- Fractures easily
- Comes in 2 flavors - continental and oceanic
![Page 26: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Continental Crust- Very thick (surface to 20-30 miles down)- Granite rich (silicon dioxide)- Stratified - Less dense

The Seafloor Spreading Theory- Similar patterns of magnetic properties were found on
either side of mid-oceanic ridges - AND dating showed that as they moved away from the
ridge, the rocks got older- SO → new crust is created at volcanic
rift zones

Plate Tectonics - Movement of the lithosphere, which is broken into huge
sections called tectonic plates
![Page 52: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Convection Currents- Rising of hot and sinking of cold cause the fluidy
asthenosphere to move the plates of the brittle lithosphere
![Page 53: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Subduction Zones- Lithosphere is broken up into massive plates that float and
move on the viscous asthenosphere- A subduction zone is where 2 tectonic plates meet and
move toward each other, with one sliding underneath and moving into the mantle
![Page 55: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Transform Boundaries- Plates slide past each other
![Page 57: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
San Andreas Fault- The Pacific & North American plates are moving
past each other, so soon (in like 50 million years)...part of California will be an island near Alaska!
Uh oh
![Page 58: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Divergent Boundaries- When plates move apart from each other- As this happens, new crust is being generated- Examples: Oceanic → Mid-Atlantic Ridge, East Pacific
Rise; Continental → East African Great Rift Valley- Areas of frequent oceanic earthquakes
Not the same thing
![Page 59: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Convergent Boundaries- When plates move toward one another and collide; forms
either a subduction zone (more dense plate moves under the less dense) or an orogonic belt (two plates collide and compress)
![Page 60: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Convergent Boundaries → Ocean-Ocean- Form islands arcs (curved chain of volcanic islands)...
examples include Japan and the Aleutian Islands of Alaska
![Page 61: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Convergent Boundaries → Ocean-Continentsubducts and creates an oceanic trench and a continental mountain range (example - Cascade Mountain Range)
![Page 62: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Convergent Boundaries → Continent-Continent-
crumble up and rise, creating mountains (example - Himalayans)
![Page 63: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Notice-Ring of Fire-Nazca Plate (O) → Andes Mountains (C)-Juan de Fuca (O) → Antarctic Plate (O) creating island arcs- Mid-Atlantic Ridge (Spreading Zone)- Red Sea is getting bigger
You should see lots of your earthquakes on these boundaries!

Consequences of Plate Movement- Volcanoes & Earthquakes
![Page 65: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Volcanoes 95% occur at subduction zones and mid-oceanic ridges
![Page 66: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Volcanoes - 5% at hot spots
(where the mantle is really close to the surface). Example is Hawaii.

Volcanoes
Produces ejecta, molten lava, and toxic gases
![Page 68: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Volcanic Effect on Weather - They introduce large levels of sulfur dioxide, that become
sulfate in the atmosphere- Particles will settle out after 2 years, leading to acid rain
![Page 69: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Volcanic Eruptions - Depends on the gases, amount of silica (viscosity), how free
the conduit is (does it flow or boom?)- Correlates with seismic activity- Produces new landforms and increased
soil nutrient levels
![Page 70: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)

Mount Saint Helens- Washington State, erupted in
1980- Removed trees, increased soil
erosion, destroyed wildlife, and increased pollution
- Also caused mudflows, melting of glacial ice and snow, and flooding
- Killed 57

Mount Pinatubo- Island of Luzon in the
Philippines- June 1991, erupted for 9 hours- Produced 18 million metric tons
of sulfur dioxide that encircled the entire stratosphere in 3 weeks
- Caused a 2oF cooldown after 3 years
![Page 74: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Yellowstone Caldera- A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100
times worse than Mt. Pinatubo, and...it could erupt at any time…
![Page 75: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Earthquakes- Two pieces of rock are sliding
past one another, or one is moving up while the other is moving down
- Earthquakes occur when tension builds up between the 2 rocks and all of a sudden they snap (similar to stretching a rubber band and smacking someone with it)
![Page 76: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Faults- A fracture in rock across which
there is movement
![Page 77: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Fault Zone- Large expanses of rock
where movement has occurred
![Page 78: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Epicenter vs Focus- Focus → the location where the rock ruptures- Epicenter → the exact
point on the surface of the earth above the focus- Calculated using the
data of at least 3 seismology locations
![Page 79: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Richter Scale- How we measure earthquakes,
in terms of intensity, measuring the amplitudes of waves
- Logarithmic scale, increasing by a scale of 10- Example: a 7 is 10 times
greater than a 6
![Page 80: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Seismic Waves - Body Waves- Body waves - S waves & P waves
- P waves travel through the earth, caused by expansion/contraction of bedrock
- S waves are produced when material moves vertically or horizontally, traveling along the uppermost layers of the earth
![Page 81: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Seismic Waves - Surface Waves- Two types - body waves and surfaces
waves - Surface waves - the rolling or
swaying motion, slower than P or S waves. They cause ground motion and damage.
![Page 83: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Severity of EarthquakesDepends on
- The amount of stored potential energy- The distance the rock mass moved when the energy was
released- How far below the surface the movement occurred- The makeup of the rock material
![Page 84: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Severity of Earthquakes- Primary effects - damage to buildings and infrastructure,
loss of life and injury- Secondary effects - rock slides, flooding due to subsidence
of land, liquefaction of recent sediments, fire, and tsunamis
![Page 85: Unit 2: The Earth - Weeblywecanscience.weebly.com/uploads/8/6/0/5/86050170/unit_2...Yellowstone Caldera - A supervolcano that last erupted 600,000 years ago, 100 times worse than Mt](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070107/60242e0a97ad82688f5d5006/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Haiti, 2010- 7.0, near the Caribbean plate
