I. Evidence of Crustal Motion
Original horizontalityA concept that assumes that sedimentary rocks (and some igneous rocks) form in horizontal layers parallel to Earth’s surface
![Page 3: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
These horizontal rock layers are calledstrataRock layers that are not horizontal are inferred to be deformed by crustal motion
![Page 4: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
1. Folded rock layers are bent or curved by pressing forces
2. Faulted rock layers are offset along a zone of weakness called a fault
![Page 5: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
3. Tilted rock strata are slanted or tipped away from horizontality
4. Displaced rock and fossils found hundreds of meters above sea levelindicate that the land has been uplifted (raised up)

II. Consequences ofCrustal Motion
1. Mountain building2. Earthquakes
![Page 10: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
An earthquake is a natural, rapid shaking of the lithosphere caused bythe release of energy stored in rocks
![Page 11: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Some earthquakes are caused by faulting,
some are associated with lithospheric motion and
some are associated with movements of magma
![Page 12: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The potential energy stored in rocks is given off inseismic waveswhich travel outward from the point of motion in all directions
![Page 13: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The focus of an earthquake is the starting point from which the seismic waves are emitted
The epicenter of an earthquake is the location on the earth’s surface directly above the focus
![Page 14: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

a. Analyzing EarthquakeData
There are three types of seismic waves:–P waves (primary waves)–S waves (secondary waves)
–Surface waves
![Page 16: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Properties of Seismic Waves
P waves are faster than any other seismic wave when traveling through the same material
Therefore, P waves will arrive at a seismic station first
![Page 17: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In general, as the density of the material increases,the velocity of the seismic waves increases
As waves travel through areas of differing densities, they arerefracted (bent)
![Page 18: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
As pressure increases, the velocity of seismic wavesincreases
P-waves will travel through solids, liquids and gases
S-waves will only travel through solids
![Page 19: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Based upon this knowledge, seismic data has led to our understanding of the interior of the earth.
Based on the change in direction of the p and s waves, we believe that the outer core of the earth is liquid
![Page 20: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Because seismic waves reflect off dense rock within the earth, they can be used to locatevaluable rock and mineral resources
![Page 21: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Locating the Epicenterof an Earthquake
Epicenters are located by using the velocity differences (lag time) between P and S waves.
![Page 23: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Information from 3 stations is needed
The epicenter is where the circles drawn for all 3 stations intersect
![Page 24: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

The farther an observer is from the epicenter, the longer it takes the seismic waves to travel there
The longer they travel, the farther apart they get…
The greater the lag time
![Page 26: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Analyzing Epicenter Information
1. PA and SA: read seismogram
2. Lag time: subtract SA – PA
3. Distance: measure lag time and slide and fit (use ESRT)
4. PT : go up and over from distance
5. OT : subtract PA - PT
![Page 27: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
An earthquake intensity (Mercalli) scale can be used to measure the effects on humans and/or their surroundings.
As distance from the epicenter increases, the amount of damage decreases
![Page 28: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
An earthquake magnitude (Richter) scale measures the strength of an earthquake…
The amount of energy released by the crustal motion
![Page 29: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Risk Prevention
Proper planning can greatly reduce damage, death and injury from earthquakes
![Page 30: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
An individual should remember to drop, cover and hold…
Drop down under a strong object, cover your eyes. Hold onto the strong object.
DO NOT run out of the building
![Page 31: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Community planning includes:
a. Inspecting the soil and bedrock to ensure building on solid ground
b. Retrofitting older buildings to make them safer…such as bolting buildings to their foundations and cross-bracing walls
![Page 32: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Seismic sea waves or Tsunamis are large ocean waves formed due to a disruption on the ocean floor such as an earthquake, volcanic eruption or rapid landslide
![Page 33: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
b. Movement of Magma
When magma reaches the surface of the earth, it becomes lava
A volcano is a mountain made of extrusive igneous rock
![Page 34: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
A volcanic eruption is the release of gases, lava and/or lava rock onto the earth’s surface or into the atmosphere
![Page 35: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
People can be injured and killed byflowing lava, falling rock and gases of extreme temperature
![Page 36: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Volcanic ash mixes with water to create massive mudslides and flooding
Gases can cause immediate death and/or long term lung damage
Volcanic ash in the atmosphere cools the earth by blocking insolation
![Page 37: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
![Page 38: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
![Page 39: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Monitoring methods
Satellites measure infrared energy
Tilt meters measure increases in slope caused by magma inflating the volcano
![Page 40: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Elevation benchmarks, latitude and longitude measurements and topographic maps indicate increases in elevation and width associated with eruptions
![Page 41: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Measurements allow enough warning to develop emergency action plans including rescue and evacuation routes
![Page 42: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The regions surrounding the Pacific Ocean contains many features associated with crustal activity and is referred to as theRing of Fire
![Page 43: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
![Page 44: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
c. Earth’s Interior
Scientists infer most of the properties of the earth’s interior by studying seismic waves
![Page 45: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The crust is the outermost part of the earth which includes the soil and weathered and eroded rock
The mantle is the mostly solid region. It makes up ~80% of the earth’s volume
![Page 46: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The interface between these two regions is called theMohowhich is short for the Mohorovicic discontinuity
![Page 47: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The lithosphere is the combined area of crust and rigid mantle. This is divided into sections called plates
![Page 48: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Another portion of the upper mantle is the asthenospherewhich is believed to be made of a plastic-like material that is partly magmaMuch of the magma and lava is thought to originate here
![Page 49: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Below the asthenosphere is the stiffer mantle
![Page 50: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
The earth’s core is divided into two parts.
Because s-waves cannot pass through the outer core, it cannot be a solid nor a gas; therefore it is believed to be a liquid
![Page 51: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Because of the great pressure as well as the increase in p-wave velocity, the inner core is believed to be solid
![Page 52: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The crust is divided into two divisions:
The continental crust makes up the continents and
The oceanic crust makes up the crust beneath the oceans
![Page 53: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Continental crust isthicker andless densethan oceanic crustTherefore, continental crust is
granitic rock and oceanic crust
is basaltic rock
![Page 54: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
It is believed that the inner and outer cores are made mostly of iron and nickel. This is believed based on the composition of meteorites and the presence of the earth’s magnetic field
![Page 55: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
d. Plate Tectonics
A unifying model that explains most major features and events of the earth isplate tectonics
![Page 56: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
which states that the earth’s lithosphere is broken into sections called plates. Their movement and interaction produce the major changes in the earth’s surface
The plates move at a rate of ~3 cm/year
![Page 57: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Plate boundaries A divergent plate boundary occurs when two plates move apart.
At this boundary, magma rises up to fill in the space created
This separation is sometimes called seafloor spreading
![Page 58: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
A convergent plate boundary occurs when two plates collide
Subduction occurs when one plate sinks under another plate
This can result in ocean trenches and volcanic island arcs
![Page 59: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
A long, steep, narrow depression is called an ocean trench and forms at convergent boundaries
Very deep earthquakes occur at subduction zones
![Page 60: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Magma formed from subduction can create island arcs or young mountains
When two continental plates collide, the plate edges bunch up together creating thickening of the crust and lithosphere
![Page 61: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Orogeny refers to times of mountain building
A transform boundary occurs when two plates slide past one another. This dragging builds up potential energy which is eventually released as kinetic energy as earthquakes
![Page 62: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
The San Andreas Fault is an example of this type of sliding boundary
![Page 63: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Convection Currents
Convection currents drag or push plates creating plate boundaries
The energy source for this motion is the heat of the earth’s interior
![Page 64: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
![Page 65: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Hot spots are regions of volcanic activity located away from plate boundaries
![Page 66: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
It is believed that hot spots occur where rising magma stays stationary and the plate moves over it.
The intense heat melts its way to, or near, the surface becoming sites of volcanic activity.
![Page 67: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Because the plates move, a series of volcanic mountains form for miles.
![Page 68: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Continental Drift
The outlines of the continents appear tofit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle
![Page 69: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
The ancient supercontinent calledPangaea began splitting apart ~250 million years ago
![Page 70: The Dynamic Crust Topic 12 Topic 12 in Review Book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56649cb85503460f9497e228/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
