3. Do Now: You are a geology detective, you are taking a hike in the Appellation Mountains upstate NY… you come across marine fossil in the bed rock and ask your self “How could Marine fossil be found so high in the bedrock… how did they get here? Give an explanation in your notebook.
4.
5. B. Sedimentary beds are deposited as _______________ __(_____ _) Horizontal Layers Strata
6. THIS SEDIMENTARY STRATA SHOWS NO EVIDENCE OF UPLIFT OR CRUSTAL MOTION LAW OF ORIGINAL HORIZONTALITY
7. C. Evidence of motions within the Earth’s crust is indicated by: 1._____________ 2._____________ 3._____________ Tilting Folding Faulting
21. E. ______ ________ are used in mapping surveys and indicate exact positions and elevations. Bench marks
22. Changes in ________________ of benchmarks are evidence that the land is either ___________ or____________ rising sinking elevation
23. F.Displaced marine fossils found in mountains have 2 interpretations: 1. _____________________________ _______________________________ 2. _____________________________ ________________________________ Higher sea levels covered mountains Rocks were uplifted from a previous ocean bottom
24. G. _____________ is the rising of the crust _____________ is the sinking of the crust Uplift Subsidence
57. U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey USGS Earthquake Hazards Program The End http: //pasadena . wr . usgs . gov/ http://earthquake.usgs.gov/ Where to go for more information:
64. Do Now: Read the Mercalli Intensity Scale and the highlighted section of the script.
65. Let’s Use The Mercalli Intensity Scale to Create An Isoseismal Map To Locate the Epicenter of An Earth Quake
66. VII V V VI VIII VI VIII VII VI VIII IV V VII IV VI IV VII VI V V IV
67.
68.
69. Do Now: Slinky Demo Time!!! Read over the Seismic Wave chart
70.
71.
72. Primary (p-wave Secondary (s-waves) Surface Also called… (compressional, shear) Causes the most damage… (Check one) Relative Speed (Slowest, Fastest or Intermediate) Describe the Wave Motion compared to the direction that the wave is traveling. Bonus: In what layers of the earth can they travel?
104. Do Now: Plot the following City Distance to Epicenter Denver 1.50 x 10 3 Km Tampa 3.80 x 10 3 Km San Diego 0.65 x 10 3 Km
105. Do Now: Plot the following City Distance to Epicenter Wink 1.8 x 10 3 Km New York 1.1 x 10 3 Km Seattle 3.0 x 10 3 Km
106. SF = San Francisco 300 km LV = Las Vegas 390 km LA = Los Angeles 189 km Seismic Stations TRIANGULATION TO FIND THE EPICENTER SF LV LA 300 km
107. Do Now: Focused Free Write: How could you use seismic (P&S) waves to determine if an egg is raw, soft-boiled or hard-boiled without breaking the egg? Explain in 3-4 sentences.
Map of world Dots are earthquakes Not scattered all over the world, but make a pattern
Pattern of earthquakes defines the boundaries of tectonic plates About 23 major plates Can you see where we are? Boundary between two plates We’ll come back to this later
Three types of interactions between plates as they move around: Sliding past one another - transform boundary Running into one another - convergent boundary Moving away from one another - divergent boundary
Three types of faults Form depending on type of plate motion and complex reaction of earth’s lithospheric blocks Strike-slip Normal Thrust
Strike-slip example moletrack
Before earthquake manure pile was under window where farmer shoveled it out from inside Fault runs right under corner of barn After earthquake manure pile moved over about 10 feet
Northridge earthquake 1994 Parking garage at Cal State Northridge
LA on Pacific Plate San Francisco on North American Plate San Andreas Fault is boundary Relative motion Takes Big Bend above LA area and causes compression in our area
