Presentation transcript:

Class 6a: Introduction to landforms or What goes up must come down

Landform processes “The summit of Mt. Everest is marine limestone” (McPhee) Tectonic forces (uplift) Gradational processes

Landform processes Geomorphology What? Where? Why? So what?

How old is the Earth?

Earth’s layers: crust “Earth scientists are like dermatologists”

Earth’s layers: mantle

Earth’s layers: core

Rock cycle What's a rock? What's a mineral?

Igneous rocks “Made from fire” Extrusive: Intrusive: from cooled magma

Sedimentary rocks Formed from sediment

Metamorphic rocks Formed from igneous or sedimentary rocks

Plate tectonics

Continental shields Shields: continental cores that haven't changed much

Motion of the plates Divergence: plates moving apart Transform: slip-strike

Motion of the plates Convergence: plates moving together Ocean-ocean Land-land collisions

Motion of the plates Land-ocean

Terranes Terranes: Bits of continents or islands "docking" with each other
