Earthquake/Volcano Review
2
Review #1 Cause –Plates move together –Friction build up –Mantle melts Effect –Collide – new landforms (mountains, volcanoes, trenches) –Slide – no new land –Separate – creates a ridge (Mid-Atlantic Ridge)
3
#2 Risks Death Sinking/collapse of home Loss of possession Fire Structural damage Building cracks
4
#3 Seismogram Richmond: 10:10 – 10:11 City farthest: Honolulu, because the p- wave reached them much later than the first reading.
5
#5 P-wave & S-wave P-wave –Push/pull –1 st vertical jump –Travels fastest –Through the body of the earth –Cannot travel through solids, but can liquids S-wave –Side-to-side –through the body of the earth –Cannot travel through liquids or solids –Most destructive Surface wave –Side-to-side –Along the surface
6
#8 Plate movement Slide – Transform fault boundary Collide – Convergent plate boundary Separate – Divergent plate boundary

#10 Mountains Plates collide –2 of same densities –2 continentals Plates separate –Melted rock flows to surface & rises
10
#11 What’s happening to the Plate Mid-Atlantic Ridge –Separating plates Himalayan Mtns. –colliding Japan Trench –2 different density plates are colliding –Oceanic sinking below a continental
11
#12 San Andreas Fault Sliding apart Wallace creek is changing path Why do earthquakes occur along a fault? –Force (friction) is building up & eventually ruptures (earthquake)
12
#13 Layers of Earth
13
#14 Scientist know the inside of the earth is made of layers by the way earthquake waves move
14
#15 Supercontinent Continents looked like a giant puzzle Fossils (plants/animals) found on separate continents Lines along boundaries matched up What do scientists think caused this? Seafloor Spreading – which led to the Plate Tectonic Theory
15
#1 & #2 Magma vs Lava Magma is the molten rock beneath the earth’s surface; Intrusive Igneous rock Lava is the magma that has reached the earth’s surface; Extrusive Igneous rock It rises to the surface because of the pressure from expanding gasses, movement of the plates and convection in the mantle
16
#4 Viscosity Highly (more) viscous = slow moving lava Lowly (less) viscous = fast/runny lava
17
#6 Volcano Types Composite – highly viscous, slow-moving lava; steep sided Cinder cone – blew top; violent Shield – lowly viscous, fast flowing lava; wide & flat
18
#7 Temperature and composition affect the viscosity of a liquid. High temperatures create a lower viscosity liquid that will move faster.

#8 Challenges Risk factor # of people at risk # of possible deaths

#11 Effects of volcanic eruptions Constructive – new landforms, minerals to the soil, geothermal energy Destructive – contamination; fires; destruction of property; death
22
#14 Earthquakes almost always occur before a volcano erupts because the movement of magma and pressure is about to be released by the volcano.

#15 What You’ve Learned Type of Catastrophic Event Where it happens?Why it happened? TornadoesTornado AlleyWarm, moist air rises from the gulf and meets cold, dry air from the Rockies and Canada head on. HurricanesTropical watersWarm, moist air rises over tropical waters EarthquakesAlong plate boundariesPlates collide, slide & separate Volcanoes
