Presentation Transcript

  1. DO NOW • What is the lithosphere? • What is the asthenosphere? • What happens to the plates at a convergent boundary and what is formed? • What happens to the plates at a divergent boundary and what is formed? • What happens to the plates at a transform fault boundary and what event occurs?

  2. Announcements • Thursday Review • Unit 3 Test Friday • If you are absent on Friday, you will be taking the test on Monday!! No excuses. • Unit 3 Notebook Check on Friday (please leave your notebook on my stool if you have not had a Unit 2 Notebook Check)

  3. Did a Massive Volcano Cause Massive Extinction?! *DO NOW: Read article provided on your desk and respond with at least 5 sentences on loose-leaf.

  4. Map of Volcanoes around the WORLD!

  5. Current Event – VOLCANIC EXPLOSION! • Cleveland Volcano! – losing lava right now • In Alaska! • 52 degrees North, 169 degrees West (where is it?!) – REVIEW! • Summit Elevation – 5676 ft. • http://www.avo.alaska.edu/

  6. What is the difference between magma and lava? • REVIEW: What is the type of rock that forms when magma cools and hardens? • What type of rocks forms when lava cools and hardens? • THEY ARE BOTH TYPES OF IGNEOUS ROCK! What’s the difference?! –Think location…

  7. How a volcano erupts is based on viscosity. • What is viscosity? • Viscosity is how resistant a substance is to flowing. For example, honey is more viscous than water. • Magma that contains more silica will be more viscous, magma that contains less silica will be less viscous.

  8. Magma that is very viscous will explode, magma that is less viscous will flow. • Lava that is hotter will be less viscous (like if you heat up honey) and will flow more. • Lava contains dissolved gases, and if the lava is very viscous, those bubbles cannot expand. Instead, the bubbles will explode upwards.

  9. Volcanoes also eject pyroclastic materials, which is a fancy name for particles. • These particles can be as small as ash or as large as boulders.

  10. There are 3 main types of volcanoes, but they all have this general form:

  11. Shield Volcanoes • Made of very fluid lava that spread really far and hardened. • Broad shape • Lots of island volcanoes (for example, Hawaii) • Eruptions are not very violent

  12. Cinder cone volcanoes • Ejects lots of cinders (chunks of pyroclastic material) that accumulate at the bottom. • Steep sides • Shortlifespans (usually only erupt once). • Usually pretty small

  13. Composite cone volcanoes • Huge! • Produce both lava and pyroclasticmaterial that can reach up to 120 mph! • Usually found in the Ring of Fire, which is a zone of volcanoes that circles the Pacific Ocean. • Can sometimes form lahars, which are mudflows that are made when lava mixes with water and soil.

  14. Calderas • Calderas are volcanic depressions that are created when the magma chamber is drained and the volcano collapses in on itself. Instead of looking like a mountain, it looks like a valley.

  15. Volcanic necks • Volcanic necks are formed when a volcano has been weathered down so that only the magma conduit (pipe) is left.

  16. Lava plateaus are made from very low-viscosity lava flowing out of a fissure (crack) in the ground. The lava spreads really far and creates a flat landform.

  17. Volcano Group Work *Ground Rules: Everyone stays in their seat, Inside voices only about assignment, All members of group must participate *Groups of 3-Each group member will start with one sheet • Each member will have 5 minutes to read their first article. • After 5 minutes you will rotate articles. (Twice) • Each group member will share out their answers from the original article, and the other group members will compare their answers • When the group is ready with all answers, they will raise their hand and Ms. Goswick will check your answers

  18. EXIT TICKET (mini-quiz): • What is continental drift (clue: think Pangaea)? • What is one piece of evidence for continental drift? • Where do plate tectonics occur? • What are the 3 different types of plate boundaries? • Next to the 3 different types above, name a land feature that is formed because of the plate boundaries • What is viscosity? • Name and describe one of the types of volcanoes.

  19. HW • Half-sheet volcano questions
