1. Environmental Geology APES MS LC

2. Objective 16.1 Understand some basic geologic principles including how tectonic plate movements affect conditions for life on the earth

3. Key Ideas  Layers of the earth  Tectonic plates  Magma and it’s evil ways  Common elements/where they came from

4. Layers of the Earth

6. Layers of the Earth

7. Tectonic plates

8. Three Types Of Plate Boundaries

9. Tectonic plates

11. Magma and it’s evil ways

12. Common elements/where they came from  Even though there are 92 elements that are naturally found, only eight of them are common in the rocks that make up the Earth’s outer layer, the crust. Together, these 8 elements make up more than 98% of the crust.elementscrust  The 8 most common elements in Earth’s crust (by mass): 46.6% Oxygen (O) 27.7% Silicon (Si) 8.1% Aluminum (Al) 5.0% Iron (Fe) 3.6% Calcium (Ca) 2.8% Sodium (Na) 2.6% Potassium (K) 2.1% Magnesium (Mg)

13. Objective 16.2  Explain how the three major rock types are formed and how the rock cycle works

14. Key Ideas  Define rock and mineral  Types of rocks  Rock cycle  Weathering and erosion

15. Minerals: Naturally occurring, inorganic, solid element or compound with a definite chemical composition or regular crystal structure Analogy: batter, chocolate chips, nuts

16. Rocks -solid, cohesive aggregate of one or more minerals -3 types of rock Analogy: a chocolate chip cookie with nuts

17. Three Types of Rocks Sedimentary Igneous Metamorphic

18. How are Rocks Formed? http://sln.fi.edu/fellows/payton/rocks/create/

19. The Rock Cycle

21. Weathering

22. Physical Weathering

23. Chemical Weathering The process of chemical weathering tends to  increase bulk creating stress within rocks  lower the density minerals  decreased particle size resulting in increased surface area  creates more mobile materials  creates more stable minerals

24. Erosion

25. Sedimentation

27. Objective 16.3  Summarize economic mineralogy and strategic minerals

28. Key Ideas  Primary uses of Metals in the US  Strategic minerals and metals

29. Major Metals Consumed in the US
