WarmUp Thurs Jan 30 Write What You Know

Warm-Up Thurs Jan 30 • Write What You Know! – Write everything you know about the prompt below for five minutes, try for at least 3 -4 complete sentences. • For each of the three types of stress, list the matching plate boundary and as many matching landforms as you can think of.

Science Day Field Trip • Field Trip is all day FRIDAY – IF you turned in your permission slip – Report to advisory in the AM, as usual – Bring a coat, a backpack, your science notebook, and several pens/pencils – There is an assignment, to be given Friday AM • If you failed to turn in a permission slip – Advisory first, then report to classroom for full day Study Hall! (classroom TBD)

Textbooks at Home • Soon, you WILL NOT be able to check out classroom textbooks!!! • Where can I get a textbook? – Online: info on zuberscience. weebly. com – Library: 10 copies to check out, need your ID and all fines paid

Faults & Landforms Notes Chapter 2. 1 Forces in Earth’s Crust

1/30/2014 Major Key Term Faults & Landforms Notes (Chapter 2. 1 Forces in Earth’s Crust) definition in own words Key Term • definition in own words • facts • pictures

Faults • Fault (major key term) – break in the Earth’s crust – smaller than plate boundary, doesn’t reach to mantle – formed by plate motion pushing/pulling crust until it breaks – most occur around plate boundaries – 3 types

Faults • Hanging Wall (key term) – block of rock that lies above • Footwall (key term) – block of rock that lies below

Three Types of Faults (major idea) • Normal Fault – caused by tension stress – hanging wall slips down – landform: can form fault-block mountains, rift valleys

Teton Range, Wyoming Ethiopian Rift Valley (part of East African Rift Valley)

Three Types of Faults • Reverse Fault – caused by compression stress – hanging wall slips up and over footwall – same structure, but opposite motions than normal fault

• Reverse Fault – can form mountains Wasatch Front, Utah

Three Types of Faults • Strike-Slip Fault – caused by shearing stress – rocks move sideways to each other, very little up/down movement

San Andreas Fault, California

Folding Rocks (major idea) • Folds in rock are formed by compression stress, can form mountains and hills – Anticline: upward fold, an arch – Syncline: downward fold, a valley

Zagros Mountains, Iran
