The document discusses the movement and deformation of Earth's crust. It describes the two types of crust - continental and oceanic - and how they undergo stress that causes rocks to break, tilt, and fold. There are three basic types of deformation: compression squeezes rocks closer together, tension stretches rocks out, and shearing causes rocks to twist or tear apart. Faults form when rocks move along breaks or cracks, and can cause earthquakes. Folding also bends and shapes the crust. These processes of deformation continually change Earth's surface features over long periods of time.

3.1 crust deformation
This document discusses how the earth's crust is deformed through processes like plate tectonics and isostatic adjustment. Isostatic adjustment occurs when parts of the crust change in weight, causing the crust to rise or sink to reach equilibrium. Stress on the crust is caused by plate movement at boundaries where they collide, separate, or rub past each other. The three main types of stress are compression, tension, and shearing.

2. Volcanic areas are rich in valuable minerals, providing jobs from mining these resources.
3. Tourism to view volcanoes can generate income for local communities through businesses catering to visitors.
4. With limited land available for housing and farms, volcanoes may be the only option despite the risks. The economic benefits outweigh the dangers for sustaining livelihoods.
3.1 deformation of the earths crust
The document discusses deformation of the Earth's crust through isostatic adjustment and stresses. Isostatic adjustment occurs when crust thickens or thins due to changes in weight, causing the crust to rise or sink into the mantle like a cargo ship. There are three main stresses on the crust - compression at convergent boundaries, tension at divergent boundaries, and shearing at transform faults. The crust is constantly seeking isostatic balance under these stresses.
Behaviors of Rocks Under Stress and Pressure
Rock structure documents tectonic movements beneath the Earth's surface that deform rocks through compression, tension, and shearing forces. Compressional forces push rock layers together, causing folding and faulting. Tensional forces pull rock layers apart, forming basins and rift valleys. Shearing forces cause vertical or horizontal displacement along faults. These tectonic forces shape the Earth's crust over geological time.

Sarah And Shontell Folder4
The document discusses different types of stresses that can occur in the Earth's crust, including tension, compression, and shearing. These stresses can cause rocks to break or bend. Compression occurs when rock is squeezed together, such as when tectonic plates push against each other. Tension pulls and stretches rock. Shearing pushes rock in opposite directions and can cause slipping or changes in shape. Different types of faults, such as reverse faults, strike-slip faults, and normal faults are formed by these stresses. Reverse faults occur when rock is pushed together in compression. Strike-slip faults are formed by shearing as plates slide past each other. Normal faults occur when tension pulls rock apart.
Stress in the earth’s crust
This document discusses different types of stresses that cause rock deformation, including confining stress, compression stress, tension stress, and shear stress. It also describes different types of resulting rock features such as folds, fractures, faults, and mountains. Specifically, it compares three types of folds - monoclines, anticlines, and synclines. It also differentiates between three main types of plate boundaries: divergent boundaries which cause tension stress and normal faults, convergent boundaries which cause compression stress and reverse faults, and transform boundaries which cause shear stress and strike-slip faults. Mountains can form at convergent plate boundaries through folding and faulting of rocks.
Sec 3 Geo: Introduction to Earthquakes
Earthquakes occur along fault lines when built-up stress in rocks is suddenly released. They can happen at plate boundaries where plates converge, diverge, or move past each other. The type and extent of damage from earthquakes depends on factors like the depth of the focus, distance from the epicenter, underlying soil and preparedness of people in the affected area. Some choose to remain in quake-prone regions due to acceptance of risks or ability to adapt infrastructure. Major historical quakes include those in Sumatra, Japan, Sri Lanka, and San Francisco.
IGCSE Plate tectonics and Weathering
This document discusses plate tectonics and its relationship to earthquakes and volcanoes. It describes Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift which proposed that the Earth's landmasses were once joined together before breaking apart. It explains that plate tectonics involves the movement of massive tectonic plates across the Earth's surface due to convection currents in the mantle. Where the plates meet, they can cause earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains as they push together or pull apart. The interior structure of the Earth is also described, including the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core.

Faulting
Faulting occurs when rocks crack or fracture due to tensional or compressional forces within the Earth's crust. This can form different types of faults such as normal faults, reverse faults, and tear faults. Faulting produces landforms like block mountains, rift valleys, tilt blocks, and escarpments. Rift valleys are long depressions bounded by parallel faults, such as those found in East Africa. They form through tension or compression and contain lakes like Lake Turkana and Lake Tanganyika. Faulting benefits the region by providing resources, attractive landscapes, and opportunities for agriculture, fishing, mining, and tourism.
Folding mechanisms
This document discusses various mechanisms of rock folding. It defines folding as the bending of rock strata due to compressional forces. There are several types of fold mechanisms including buckling, bending, flexure folding, flexural slip, flexural flow, passive flow, and kink folding. Each mechanism is influenced by factors like temperature, pressure, fluid properties, and the composition and texture of the rock. Buckling involves shortening of rock layers under lateral pressure. Bending involves applying force across layers to produce gentle folds. Flexural slip forms parallel concentric folds through buckling or bending with slip along layering.
Ch7_Plate_Tectonics_students
This document summarizes plate tectonic theory and evidence that supports it. It describes how Alfred Wegener first proposed continental drift in 1915 and how technology after WWII like echo sounders and deep sea drilling projects in the 1960s-70s found evidence of sea floor spreading. This led Harry Hess to hypothesize in 1962 that new crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges and pulled into the mantle at subduction zones, showing that tectonic plates move independently. The document outlines the three main types of plate boundaries - divergent where plates spread apart, convergent where they collide, and transform where they slide past each other. It provides examples and characteristics of each boundary type.
__deformation_of_the_crust.ppt
The document discusses how mountains are formed through crustal deformation processes. It describes how isostatic adjustments occur as the crust seeks equilibrium between downward pressure from overlying rock and upward pressure from the mantle. When forces exceed rocks' ability to deform through folding, faults form through brittle failure. There are four main types of faults. Mountains are often formed at plate boundaries through collision and compression of crust. The main types are folded mountains, fault-block mountains, volcanic mountains, and dome mountains, each involving different deformation mechanisms.
eaGrade 8 science earthquake and faults power point presentation
Earthquakes occur when built-up stress causes rocks beneath the earth's surface to suddenly break along faults. Rocks experience stress as the tectonic plates they reside in slowly move and push against each other over long periods of time. This stress eventually exceeds the rocks' elastic limit, resulting in an earthquake as the rocks snap back to their original positions. The three major types of faults that cause earthquakes are normal faults formed by tension between plates, reverse faults caused by compression, and strike-slip faults driven by horizontal shearing movements between plates.

Specific landforms associated with each boundary type are described, including fold mountains, rift valleys, and volcanoes. The document also covers volcanic eruptions and the risks of living near volcanoes or in earthquake zones.
Living with Tectonic Hazards
This document provides information about natural hazards caused by tectonic plate movements. It discusses the three main types of plate boundaries: divergent where plates move apart, convergent where they move together, and transform where they move past each other. At divergent boundaries, mid-ocean ridges and volcanic islands form through sea floor spreading. Rift valleys and block mountains form when continents split apart. At convergent boundaries, denser plates subduct under lighter ones, creating ocean trenches, volcanic island arcs, and fold mountains through compression. Transform boundaries cause earthquakes along tear faults as plates grind past each other.
Ch19 building the earths surface
This document discusses various geological processes that shape Earth's surface over long periods of time. It describes how stress and strain lead to folding and faulting in the crust. It also explains how volcanic activity, earthquakes, and plate tectonics result in mountain building and other surface features. Key points include how the principle of uniformity helps us understand slow, gradual changes versus sudden catastrophic events, and how different rock types respond to stress depending on temperature, pressure, and time.
GRADE-10-FIRST-GRADING-PERIOD.ppt
The document discusses plate tectonic theory and the three types of plate boundaries: divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries. At divergent boundaries, tension causes plates to move apart and seafloor spreading occurs. At convergent boundaries, compression causes plates to collide, leading to subduction zones, volcanoes, and mountain building. Transform boundaries involve shear stress as plates slide past each other horizontally.

Chapter 1 earths surface
- 1. Chapter 1 Movement of the Earth’s Crust
- 3. Earth’s Changing Surfaces • Crust- is the surface, or outermost, layer of the Earth. • Two types – Continental crust • Makes up earths landmasses • About 32 kilometers thick in most places • Under mountains can be up to 72 kilometers thick
- 4. Two types continue • Oceanic crust – Found under the ocean floor – Usually about 8 kilometers thick
- 5. Stress on Crust • As the rocks of the crust undergo stress, they slowly change shape and volume. • Rocks will move up, down, or sideways – Movement causes the rocks to break, tilt, and fold
- 6. Deformation • Deformation- the breaking, tilting, and folding of rocks. • Three basic types – Compression- squeezes the rocks of the crust • This causes the rocks to move closer together • Makes the rocks denser and smaller in volume • Pushes the rock higher up and deeper down • Examples- trash compactor, squeezing clay in your hands
- 7. Basic types • Tension- pulls on the rocks of the crust, causing them to stretch out over time. – Rock under tension becomes thinner in the middle than at the ends. – Volume of the rock increases, its density decreases. – Examples- taffy being pulled, Silly Sutty being pulled between your fingers.
- 8. Basic types • Shearing- pushes rocks of the crust in two opposite directions. – Causes rocks to twist or tear apart – They bend or break apart – Examples- rubbing two pieces of limestone together
- 10. Faulting • Fault- a break or crack along which rocks move – Movements along a fault can be up, down, or sideways – Earthquakes often occur along faults – Hanging wall- the block of rock above the fault – Foot wall- the block of rock below the fault
- 11. Two types of Faults • Normal fault- if tension is acting on a fault, the hanging wall will move down relative to the footwall.
- 12. • Reverse fault- if compression is acting on a fault, the hanging wall will move up relative to the footwall. – Thrust fault- is formed when compression causes the hanging wall to slide over the foot wall. • usually mixes up the order of the layers in rock
- 13. Faulted Mountains and Valleys • Fault-block mountains- mountains formed by blocks of rocks uplifted by normal faults. • Rift valleys- valleys are formed when the block of land between two normal faults slides downward.
- 14. Folding • Fold- a bend in a rock ( like a rug sliding across the floor). • Two types of folds
- 15. Anticlines • Anticlines- the upward fold in a rock • This is how the Appalachian Mountains are formed • Is not always higher than the surrounding area • Anticlines can be under hills, valleys, or flat areas.
- 16. Syncline • Syncline- a downward fold in a rock
- 17. Difference between Fault or Fold • Four factors that determine if a rock will fold or fault. – Temperature – Pressure – Rock type – Stress
- 18. Plateaus • Plateaus- is a large area of flat land that is raised high above sea level
- 19. Domes • Domes- uplifted area created by rising magma • Is formed when fluid collects beneath the surface and pushes up on overlaying layers, forming a raised spot in the immediate area but leaving the surrounding regions flat and undisturbed.
- 20. Floating Crust • In the mantle the rock flows slowly (like molasses). Because the mantle is much denser than the crust, the solid, rocky crust floats on the mantle.
- 21. • The floating crust exerts a downward force on the mantle, and the mantle exerts an upward force on the crust. – Isostasy- the balancing of the downward force of the crust and the upward force of the mantle.
- 22. • Rising of landmasses – Examples- Norway, Sweden, and Finland have increased in elevation over a period of time. • Sinking of landmasses – Mississippi river has deposited millions of tons of mud and sand in the Gulf of Mexico and the water level has remained the same.
