Volcanoes

Why do the Plates move? Convection Currents – uneven heating of Earth = shifting of asthenosphere How wind works! Subduction = cooler magma falling toward Earth’s core Mid-Ocean Ridges = warmer magma rising to Earth’s surface

Rock Cycle Review: Part III Igneous – magma cooling (granite, basalt) Majority of rocks on EARTH Metamorphic – heat and pressure (coal) Sedimentary – sediment (particles) compacting Majority of rocks on Earth’s SURFACE FOSSILS found in these

Convergent vs. Divergent Convergent – two plates push together (make mountains) Subduction Zone Pressure pushes up magma  volcanoes Divergent– two plates push away from each other Fissure Magma cooling  oceanic ridges and rift valleys

Volcanoes 95% = subduction zones & fissures 5% = “hot spots” – magma close to surface Produce: lava, pyroclastic particles (ash), toxic gases (sulfur-based)

Types of Volcanic Cones

Sulfur Cycle Sulfur – mostly in rocks/oceans (magma) Release: Volcanoes & vents (SO2) Oceans (sulfates) Factories (H2S) - coal Acid Rain (sulfuric acid) Absorbed (Sulfur sinks): Plants & soil (SO2) Oceans (SO2, sulfates)

Volcano Anatomy Magma chamber – where magma is stored Conduit – pipe where magma runs up Vent – where magma exits volcano (as lava) Pyroclastic flow – ash cloud post eruption conduit Secondary vent

Types of Volcanoes Active – regularly erupting volcanoes Less dangerous Kilauea (Hawaii) – gentle magma flow Dormant – usually inactive volcano Dangerous (pressure) Mount St. Helens Extinct – no longer an active volcano

Mount St. Helens Washington State Eruption = mountain landslide Lahar Series of Earthquakes Eruption = mountain landslide Lahar Ash and gas = increased soil erosion, destroyed ecosystems, killed 57

Mount Pinatubo: The Honey-Badger Volcano June, 1991 – Philippines Eruption = 18 mill. tons of SO2 Largest ever Ash spread all over Earth Increased Sun reflection Earth temp. lowered 2oF for 3 years!

Krakatoa = Baller. Indonesia – most active volcanoes 1883 Eruption Loudest sound ever recorded (3,000 miles) 36,000-120,000 deaths Wiped out entire island!

Jobs Near Volcanoes Volcanologist – studies volcanic activity Sulfur Mining – cutting pieces of sulfur (yellow) Ijen (Indonesia) 12 mile hike, carry 200 lbs $6 / day Protection = bandanas over mouth/nose
