Presentation transcript:

MAGMA is molten rock, but is not just liquid - also contains bits of rock crystals and gas. It ranges in consistency from wet concrete to thick oatmeal. Rock that crystallizes from a magma is IGNEOUS ROCK.

Rock melts when the temperature within the earth (geotherm) exceeds the melting point (solidus) of rock. This happens for different reasons at (1) subduction zone volcanoes, (2) mid-ocean ridge volcanoes, and (3) hotspot volcanoes.

Normally the geotherm does not cross the solidus, so there is no melting. BUT, it is very close at about 100-250 km in depth ( Asthenosphere).

What are the 3 main causes of volcanoes? 1. Mid-Ocean Seafloor Spreading

Ridges: “pressure release” melting

What are the 3 main causes of volcanoes? 2. Seafloor Subduction

Subduction Zones: “wet” melting

Mt. Pinatubo: So much ash into the atmosphere that Earth’s temperature dropped, and sunsets were redder.

Phase 1: Small earthquakes and puffs of steam indicate that magma is rising. Bulge develops in North face.

Phase 2: A magnitude 5.1 earthquake shakes mountain, dislodging bulge which slides down mountain. Decreased pressure on magma starts lateral blast.

Phase 3: Eruption causes a second block to break free, exposing more magma and initiating an eruption column. Lateral blast goes at 300 mph, covers 230 square miles.

Phase 4: The Eruption Column reaches 80,000 feet in less than 15 minutes.

Mechanical Weathering (1): Frost Wedging

Mechanical Weathering (2): Plant growth

Mechanical Weathering (3): Pressure release

Mechanical Weathering (4): Large Temperature changes (also: forest fires)

Chemical Weathering (1): Dissolution Water and carbon dioxide combine to make carbonic acid, which dissolves minerals.

Chemical Weathering (2): Hydrolysis Addition of water to minerals makes clay minerals

Hydrolysis: Greatly accelerated in the presence of acidic rain

Chemical Weathering (3): Oxidation Addition of oxygen to a metal-rich mineral forms a new mineral >> RUST

An end product of weathering is SOIL.
