1
Today Hand in LAB EQ Location & OLD WORK Check the list in the back, if you owe something. Get out a small piece of paper, PUT YOUR NAME ON IT.
2
Review –EQ LOCATION P-wave & S-wave arrival times Subtract (S-P time) Look up Distance in Km (ESRT) – –HOW? P-wave travel time (ESRT) – –HOW? Origin Time (P-wave arrival – P-wave travel)
3
Quiz Get out your ESRT You have 15 minutes to hand in this quiz. NO more. Good luck
4
Plates and Volcanoes
5
Where do we find volcanoes? Divergent plates ??? –YES! Transform Plates ??? –NO! Not usually CONVERTGENT Plates?? –YES!
6
Convergent Plates Where two plates come together
7
Types of Magma The type of magma that is made from the volcano is based on the mineral content. More Aluminum and quartz = Felsic More Iron, Magnesium = Mafic
8
Felsic Magma Lots of Quartz Sticky (high viscosity) Can hold lots of pressure Rocks from a felsic magma usually form Granite (density of 2.7g/cm 3 )
9
Mafic Magma Very little Quartz Not very sticky Doesn’t hold pressure Mafic magma makes Basalt (density of 3.0 g/cm 3 )
10
Types of lava A’ A’ –Chunky Pahoe’ pahoe’ –Ropy
11
How does magma effect Volcanoes? If the magma holds the pressure it will blow up more violently If there is less pressure more of a fluid eruption. This allows different volcanoes to form.
12
Cinder Cone Volcano When the eruption occurs rocks thrown from the volcano and land next to opening. Small, but steep sides Felsic magma
13
Composite Volcano Layers of magma/lava flow on top of one another to form volcanoes sides. Large and steep sides Felsic magma – VERY EXPOSIVE! –Mt. Vesuvius in Italy
14
Shield Volcano Large flattened volcanoes formed lava layering on top of others Mafic Magma Not Explosive!
15
Parts of a volcano
16
Intrusions When magma makes its way into other layers on the earth. Usually Sedimentary layers have igneous intrusions.
17
Hot Spots
18
These are spots where the magma below is rising to the surface and the plates move over them.

NEXT LAB 15 Page 60-64 1.) READ!!!! 2.) Fill in chart, use data on page 63. 3.) Plot data on page 63 in graph on page 64. 4.) Follow steps on page 61. 5.) Answer questions.
20
Today Hand in any work needed. Check the list in the back, if you owe something. Get out a small piece of paper, PUT YOUR NAME ON IT. When bell rings the quiz will start and you will have 1 minute per question to answer.
21
Question 1 Name the three plate boundaries.
22
Question 2 If the P-wave arrived at 12:03:00 and the S- wave arrived at 12:07:40, how far away is the EQ epicenter?
23
Question 3 What drive plate movement?
24
Answers Convergent, Divergent, Transform 3200km Convection
