CHAPTER 1 GROTZINGER,JORDAN PRESS & SIEVER

Lecture Outline 1. What is Earth Science? 2. The scientific method 3. The geologic record ( ) 3. The geologic record (Principle of Uniformitarianism) 4. Discovery of a layered Earth 5. Earth as a system of interacting components

Lecture Outline 1. What is earth science? 2. The scientific method 3. The geologic record (Principle of Uniformitarianism) 4. Discovery of a layered Earth 5. Earth as a system of interacting components

Earth (“Geo”) Scientists study: rocks (petrology, mineralogy, thermodynamics) plate tectonics (geodynamics) the moon (petrology: Byerly) the physical evidence for the origin of the solar system (isotope geochemistry): Schaefer chemistry of the solar system (Geochemistry) physics of earthquakes (Geophysics) biology, evolution (Geobiology: Engels, Paleoecology: Anderson, Vertebrate Paleo: Schiebout) Ancient climate (Geochemists: Bao)

What professional will most likely study images sent back from Mars? A.Astronomers B.Geologists C.Doctors D.Engineers

The main difference between Earth Science and the rest of the sciences (except for astrophysics) is the use of “DEEP TIME”. For us a million years passes like a 15-minute break. Geological processes can take place more slowly than people can notice. But because they run for extremely long periods of time their effects are great. Water recharge in Baton Rouge takes 1000 years Climate change has been accelerated by CO 2 emissions over the past 100 years.

Lecture Outline 1. What is Earth Science? 2. The Scientific Method 3. The geologic record (Principle of Uniformitarianism) 4. Discovery of a layered Earth 5. Earth as a system of interacting components

The “Scientific Method”

The “Real” Scientific Method-I A philosophical approach A deductive reasoning approach (Starts with an OLD IDEA) Starts with a need… to explain a trend…. a pattern… Explains observations in a NEW WAY using one or several reasons. Reasons can be a thought experiment, a computer program, another predictable observation that “makes sense” Verification that the explanation works by many experts

The “Real” Scientific Method-II If you know the answer already that is not science Science is an intellectual process Barriers to science are human e.g., greed, dishonesty, fear of change, hunger for power, cultural conditioning, politics...

Try your “Scientific Method” PROBLEM: “It’s a cold morning and my car will not start..” List possible problems Rank solutions to problem by cost in time and/or effort Have you learnt anything new ?

Pre-scientific Medicine (pre-Germ Theory) yellow bilephlegmblood Humours: yellow bile, black bile, phlegm, blood “Methods of treatment like blood letting, forced vomiting and purges were aimed at expelling a harmful surplus of a humour. They were still in the mainstream of American medicine after the Civil War. Other methods used herbs and foods associated with a particular humour to counter symptoms of disease, for instance: people who had a fever and were sweating were considered hot and wet and therefore given substances associated with cold and dry.” (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, 2006)

Q. What IS scientific about pre-germ medicine? Q. What is NOT scientific about pre-germ theory?

Case Study of Science at Work: Origin of the Moon OBSERVATION: The Pacific is large? Why so large? Charles Darwin’s great grandson hypothesized that the Moon came from the Pacific Ocean (HYPOTHESIS)

Case Study of Science at Work: Origin of the Moon HYPOTHESIS and TESTS: Pacific Ocean is my old Such an impact would have melted the earth and reset all radioactive clocks to 0 years old about 100 my after the melting.

Nebular Hypothesis and the origin of our Moon Oldest rocks on the moon are 4.47 by A Mars-shaped bolide hit the earth about 4.5 by

Formation of the Moon (about 4.5 billion years ago)

Lecture Outline 1. What is Earth Science? 2. The scientific method 3. The geologic record. (Principle of Uniformitarianism) 4. Discovery of a layered Earth 5. Earth as a system of interacting components 6. Overview of geologic time

Principle of Uniformitariansim “The present is the key to the past” — James Hutton

“Extended” Principle of Uniformitariansim Natural laws do not change but rates, intensity and location within the universe where these processes occur may vary.

Examples of physical processes Radioactive decay (a Theory) Gravitational attraction (a Theory) Electromagnetic behavior (a Theory)

Some Geologic Events are Slow It took more than 250 million years to deposit this sequence of rocks. The rocks at the bottom of the canyon are about 2 billion years old. The Grand Canyon

Some Geologic Events are Rapid This feature (~2 km across) formed in less than one minute about 50,000 years ago Meteor Crater

“The chances that a bolide 1-2 km in diameter will hit the earth by 2880 A.D. is 1:300”

Some Geologic Investigations are Microscopic Features less than 0.1 mm can give important information about the history of many rocks. 1 mm

Seismic waves – illuminate Earth’s interior Compression and shear waves behave differently and are bent or absorbed at layer (chemical) boundaries within the Earth Earth’s interior is layered according to density Surface rock density is less than 3.5 g/cm 3 Whole Earth density is 5.5 g/cm 3 Core density must be about 8 g/cm 3

Composition of the Earth (70%) Key earth elements in the crust: Si, O Key earth elements in the earth: Fe, Si, O

Chemical Composition of Earth Whole Earth: Fe+O+Si+Mg = 93% Crust: Si+O+Al = 82% Fig. 1.7

0 (km) Continental crust (2.8 g/cm 3 ) Moho discontinuity Horizontal distance not to scale Mantle (3.4 g/cm 3 ) Oceanic crust (3.0 g/cm 3 ) The crust: continents are made of lighter rock and thus literally “float” on material of higher density.

Less dense continental crust floats on denser mantle.

Composition of the Earth What is responsible for the distribution of light and dense elements by depth? How did they get there if the Earth was solid?

Global Chemical Differentiation

Earth as a Group of Interacting Systems Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Deep Mantle, Inner Core interact e.g. Volcanic degassing creates warm periods in Earth’s history The oceans buffer greenhouse gases The Core’s magnetic field allows migration of fish and birds
