1. WARM-UP 66
A. During an earthquake, the most violent shaking occurs at the
vent
focus
Ring of Fire
epicenter
B. The seismic waves that cause the most damage during an earthquake are
P waves
S waves
Surface waves
X-rays
C. Which of the following describes primary waves created by an earthquake?
they cause damage on the surface
they cause up-and-down movement in the rock
they are the fastest-moving waves
they are the slowest-moving waves

2. A fault is a crack in the Earth's crust.
WARM-UP 67
WHAT IS A FAULT?
A fault is a crack in the Earth's crust.

3. Warm-Up # 68 Cinder Cone Shield Composite Cone
What are the three basic shapes of volcanos?
Cinder Cone
Shield
Composite Cone

4. Warm-Up # 69 – What are three factors that affect how violent an eruption will be?

5. Warm-Up # 69 – What are three factors that affect how violent an eruption will be?
1) Water Vapor: More water vapor = bigger explosion
2) Trapped Gasses
How easily the gas escapes determines how violent the explosion
Easy escape = quiet eruption
Difficult to escape = explosive eruption
3) Magma Type
Basaltic Magma = quiet explosion
Granitic/Andesitic = violent eruptions

6. Why does a volcano erupt?
WARM – UP #70
Answer the question …
Why does a volcano erupt?

7. WARM – UP #70
The answer is…
Two of earth crust plates collide with one plate going under the other plate.
The impact causes friction in the earth’s crust.
The pressure caused by the friction makes the rocks under the plates melt and help the magma rise.

8. WARM-Up # 71
What is the difference between chemical weathering and mechanical weathering?
During chemical weathering, the substance of the rock physically changes. Mechanical weathering causes a breakdown of rocks without a change in chemical composition.

9. April 1, 2014 - Tuesday WARM-Up # 72
2. Fault Block Mountains
1.Chemical Weathering
3. Fold Mountains
4. Plateau / Butte

10. April 2, 2014 - Wednesday WARM-Up # 73
What is Mechanical weathering? Give two examples.
Mechanical weathering is the process of breaking down of rock by physical changes.
Examples: frost action, actions of plants and animals

11. What is the difference between erosion and weathering?
WARM-Up # 74
What is the difference between erosion and weathering?
Weathering involves processes that decompose rocks. Weathering processes occur in place. No movement is involved in weathering.
As soon as a rock particle moves, we call it erosion. We call it erosion if the rock particle is moved by some flowing agent such as air, water or ice.

12. THINK ROCKS & WEATHERING
WARM-Up # 75
THINK ROCKS & WEATHERING
Prediction: What is ice wedging?
When water in cracks in rocks freezes and expands.
Prediction: What is abrasion?
The action of rocks grinding against each other and wearing away exposed surfaces.
Prediction: What is differential weathering?
Process by which softer rocks are worn away leaving harder, more weather resistant rocks.

13. WARM-UP # 76
What is water called that is NOT soaked up by the ground?
RUNOFF

14. Warm-Up # 77 What is the process of weathered materials being moved by wind, water, gravity or ice?
EROSION

15. WHAT ARE THE THREE TYPES OF ROCKS?
WARM-UP # 78
WHAT ARE THE THREE TYPES OF ROCKS?
Igneous
Sedimentary
Metamorphic

16. WARM-UP # 79
What is the difference between and extrusive igneous rock and an intrusive igneous rock? How can you tell by looking at them? Give an example of each type.

17. WARM-UP # 79
Extrusive igneous rocks form when magma makes its way to Earth's surface. AKA volcanics. Extrusive rocks have small crystals. Example: basalt
Intrusive igneous rocks form below the Earth’s surface. AKA plutonic. Most intrusive rocks have large, crystals. Example: Granite

18. What processes can break down a metamorphic rock into sediments?
WARM-UP # 80
What processes can break down a metamorphic rock into sediments?
Erosion and weathering

19. How are sedimentary rocks classfied?
WARM- UP # 81
How are sedimentary rocks classfied?
Sedimentary rocks are classified by their composition and by the manner in which they formed. The three types of sedimentary rocks are
Detrital
Chemical
Organic .
