Geologic Time
![Page 3: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Huge sections of time are broken down into smaller groups of time:
Eons, Eras, Periods, and Epochs
Eon is the largest time block (kind of like what we would think of as years).
Era is a little less time (like months)
Period would be shorter time (like weeks)
Epochs are even shorter (like days)
(**No different then when we take years and divide them into months, weeks, and days.)
GEOLOGIC TIME SCALE:A visual display of the history (the age) of the Earth in the form of a scale

Fossils“Fossils are rocks that formed from the remnants
(what’s left) of once-living things. All living organisms, under the right conditions, can be
fossilized.”
Types of fossils include…

Molds Casts
An imprint of something that was once living.
When something is filled with sediment (rocks) and makes it look 3-D.

Petrification
When something is filled with atoms of rock material; this makes them very hard (rock). *Commonly found with wood.
![Page 8: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Crystallization
When a living organism gets stuck in something sticky (like sap) the sap and the organism harden and get preserved.
FreezingAn organism gets frozen and the super cold temps prevent it from decaying; therefore preserving it.
![Page 9: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Trace Fossils:The remains of an organism's activities but not of the organism itself.
EXAMPLES:-broken eggshells from a dinosaur's nest are trace fossils. -footprints from an organism-chewed section of a plant-”coprolites” fossilized dung or feces (meaning: poop)
![Page 10: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
There are two types of dating which geologists can use to make the timelines:
relative dating and absolute dating.
Relative dating does not give an exact age (in years) to rocks or geologic events…
![Page 11: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Instead, relative dating puts the events in sequential order; the oldest
comes first, and all the rest of the events follow after, on the “relative
dating timeline”.
Example of relative dating (putting events in sequential order):
![Page 12: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Since there weren’t scientists around during the formation of the Earth (or for any of the geologic history of Earth) they (scientists) need to rely on carefully recorded observations, so they can make assumptions about these things.
These types of assumptions are called principles, and in these cases, observations made by the scientific community, over time, have repeatedly supported the assumptions.
Geologic Assumptions:
1. Uniformitarianism2. The Principle of Superposition3. The Principle of Original Horizontality4. The Principle of Faunal Succession
![Page 13: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is the order?
![Page 14: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
More advanced dating techniques have allowed geologists to get more exact dates.
Absolute dating is the: The measurement of time in definite periods of time and is measured with something that gives
us a definite (exact) time.
It assigns specific dates to rocks and geologic events.
SO…

Radiometric dating:
Radioactive decay starts with only parent element (an unstable isotope). Because it's unstable, it will decay into a stable daughter element. The time it takes for half of the amount of parent element to decay is constant, (and known as half-life). After one half-life, half of the material is the parent element and the other half is more stable daughter element.
After another half life, one-fourth will be the parent element. As the substance keeps decaying, the amount of parent element will shrink, although it will never be completely gone. The substance would then mostly consist of the daughter element.
All rocks contain radioactive material that decays over time. The rate of radioactive decay allows scientists to establish the absolute age of a rock.** the most common radioactive element is carbon-14 found in all living organisms.
![Page 16: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Scientists learn about Earth’s geological (the Earth itself) and biological (living things) history through evidence from rocks and fossils.
FOSSIL RECORD
A fossil record helps us to understand the past and why things are the way they are today.
![Page 17: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Theory of evolution
“Life on Earth did not always look the same as it does today. Life has evolved” (changed / altered). “Evolution explains how new species of organisms arise or how existing organisms adapt to new conditions over time.”
Dinosaur Modern day bird
![Page 18: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
“An adaptation refers to a characteristic of an organism that allows it to survive in a particular environment. “
When an adaptation (a change) makes an organism more likely to survive and reproduce, the organism may pass the new adaptation on to its offspring (babies); organisms with the new adaptation will produce more babies than organisms that don’t have the new adaptation. This process called: natural selection is why some organisms with certain adaptations survive and others do not, depending on Earth's changing conditions.

Chemical evolution:The idea that the appearance of living systems (stuff) on Earth came
from non-living molecules.

Fossil evolution
Phylogeny is studying how different organisms (plants/animals/etc.) are connected (related) through evolution (change over time).
We use something called a “cladogram” to show (in an image/diagram) how one organism is related to another one.
Living fossils: Creatures that are very similar to species that lived long ago (without much change) are called “living fossils”.

The ocean plays a major role in the water cycle.
All life on Earth depends on the ocean in some way. All water eventually flows into the ocean, where it evaporates and is
recycled by rain back onto land.
![Page 35: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Formation of the Oceans
**Please view the video clip on the formation of the oceans, on “Discover pg. 1” under the “Formation of the Oceans” tab.
![Page 36: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Ocean water is salt water containing a variety of salts. Salts in soils and rocks that are continually eroded from land cause the ocean's saltiness. Rivers and streams carry small amounts of salt to the ocean day after day. As the water in the ocean is evaporated by the sun in the water cycle, the salts get left behind. Therefore, in areas where there is a lot of evaporation, the ocean water is actually saltier.
The amount of salt in water is a measure of its salinity. Ocean salinity varies by climate. On average, salinity is about 3.5 percent. This means that 3.5 percent of all ocean water is made of salt. In areas with a high evaporation rate, the salinity is higher. When freshwater mixes with ocean water, such as where a river meets the ocean, the salinity is lower than normal.
Water with dissolved salts has a higher density than freshwater without dissolved salts.
Salty Water
![Page 37: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The ocean temperature can vary (change) depending on the location (closer to the equator – warmer; closer to the poles – colder) OR it can vary depending on how deep the water is:
*Three main temperature zones (areas) in the ocean:
Surface Water
Thermocline
Deep Water
![Page 38: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
As it rises and sinks in the ocean, water circulates from bottom to top and back down again.
Cold water sinks Warm water rises
![Page 39: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
What things impact (or causes) water movement?
![Page 40: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
What things impact (or causes) water movement?
The movement of water depends on its density, which in turn depends on temperature and salinity.
Warm water is less dense than cold water. Saline (salt) water is denser than freshwater. Differences in temperature and the amount of dissolved solids within the water drive its circulation (cause water to move) from shallow to deep and back again.
This process is called thermohaline circulation.

Surface Ocean Currents
![Page 55: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Phytoplankton are microscopic plants at the bottom of the ocean food chain; all the other creatures in the sea depend on phytoplankton.
Phytoplankton are distributed by ocean currents and waves.
Currents cause movement of ocean water by a process called ocean circulation. The constant cycling of ocean water distributes nutrients and energy from the poles to the equator, and back again.
![Page 56: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Without water circulation, organisms would quickly use up all of the nutrients at the ocean’s surface. But the nutrient supply (like phytoplankton) is replenished when nutrients that sink deeper into the ocean come back to the surface. The process by which nutrients and energy resurface is called upwelling.
![Page 57: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

Upwelling's bring the cold deep water up, cooling the air (environment) around it.
The exchange of heat between the ocean and the atmosphere causes changes in weather patterns.
![Page 59: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
EFFECTS ON THECLIMATE:
Upwelling water can change weather patterns in an area.
When upwelling currents are happening often they bring the cold water up therefore cooling the air. The closer you are to the water the more moderate your climate (it doesn’t drastically change as much as it does inland).
Remember that the ocean absorbs solar (heat) energy slowly and releases it slowly. So once the ocean water warms, it is slow to cool off; and vice-versa.
The ocean always releases (in the form of evaporation) water molecules which impact the air, therefore impacting our weather.
![Page 60: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Solar (heat) energy is absorbed by the ocean and warms the water surface slowly.
Solar (heat) energy is lost very slowly because water holds onto the energy.
The exchange of heat between the ocean and the atmosphere causes changes in weather patterns.

The more salt in the water the denser it is, causing it to sink (move).
The temperature of the water:
Warm water rises and cold water sinks.

Density Currents:
To most of us, when we think of density we usually think of how heavy something is. The more mass that an abject has the more dense it is, so the heavier it is.
Density currents have more mass and are therefore pulled toward the ocean bottom by gravity.
REMEMBER: Water density is largely affected by temperature and salinity (the amount of salt), so water which is very cold or higher in salt content sinks deep beneath the surface.

1. Air always moves for a high pressure area to a low pressure area.2. The Earth is curved and the sun hits areas on the Earth different; so it warms
them different.3. Warm air rises and cold air sinks (cold air is more dense). So the warm air
from the equator rises, and the cold air from the poles sinks.4. The Earth is rotating (so we get night and day), but was it does it deflects the
air.5. Air actually moves in specific areas (globally) but to you and I (locally) it moves
all over.

Wind The winds closest to the surface of the Earth affect the ocean water.
Currents that are formed as a result of the wind above them are called: wind-driven currents.
A wind’s strength and the length of time that it blows determine the strength and direction of a surface current. Because winds are deflected by the Coriolis effect, surface currents follow the same pattern.

Land and Sea Breezes
Ocean temperatures influence the strength and direction of winds.
Remember that when the temperature is warm in one location it will rise, so the cooler air will move in to replace it; these changes (the movement) creates winds. During the day the movement is in one direction and at night the opposite. Please see the interactive on the Discover page 2, “Land and Sea Breezes” tab.

What is a wave?This continuous and repetitive transmission of energy from one location to the next is called a wave.
A surface wave (in the ocean) is a repetitive disturbance in the water that repeats itself in a pattern.
Medium: What the energy travels across/through/over/under (EX: Like a car traveling on a road.)

Wave: A transfer of energy from one point to the next. One complete wave includes the crest and trough.
Crest: The highest point in the wave.
Trough: The lowest point in the wave.
Wavelength: The distance from one crest to another crest or from one trough to another trough. Wavelength is symbolized as the lowercase Greek letter lambda.
Frequency: The time for successive crests or troughs to pass (or vibrate through) a given location. Frequency is a measure of the wave’s vibration.
Equilibrium: The point in the middle of a successive trough and crest.
Amplitude: The height of a wave from the point of equilibrium to the crest or trough of the wave.

A wave is the movement of energy through the water. Although a wave appears to carry water to the shore, in actuality the actual water itself is not moving far. That's how surfers can bob along in the water waiting for a breaking wave.
Wave height determines the size of a wave.
The larger the wave the faster up and down the surfer moves.
![Page 86: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Frequency: - describes how many oscillations a wave completes in a period of time.
(How often we go from crest to crest to crest.)
Very frequent; many crests (high frequency)
Few crests (low frequency)
The stronger the wind, the more frequent the waves; the faster the surfer appears to move.
The weaker the wind, the less frequent the waves; the slower the surfer appears to move.

TYPES OF WAVES
As a wave approaches (gets close to) the coast, the shape and slope (angle of the wave) of the shoreline region (area)
determines the type of wave that forms.
![Page 92: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Waves “break” when the speed of the wave changes as it reaches shallower coastal regions (beach areas).
Waves are slowed by friction (rubbing against the ocean floor) as the water becomes shallower.
Once a wave gets close to the shore, the top of the wave keeps moving forward even though the bottom part slows down
because it is rubbing against the bottom. The top part of the wave lifts up over the bottom part. If it lifts
high enough, the top part rolls over and crashes back down, and the wave “breaks.”
As waves break, they create a foamy layer of bubbling water, known as surf.

Not every location on Earth experiences the same types of tidal cycles. Several types of tidal cycles occur worldwide.
Semidiurnal: Semidiurnal tides are locations with two high and two low tides of about the same height each day. The East Coast of the United States has a semidiurnal tidal cycle.
Mixed semidiurnal: Locations on the West Coast of the United States experience mixed semidiurnal tides because the levels of tides vary. There are generally two high tides and two low tides, but the water level for each can vary.
Diurnal: Diurnal tides are locations where there is only one high and one low tide each day. The Gulf of Mexico experiences diurnal tides.

Formation of the Solar System
Nebular hypothesis: A cloud of gas and dust in space, known as a nebula, began to rotate. It condensed into a flattened disk. As the dust and gas condensed, gravity pulled the gas and dust ever closer together. At the center of the nebula, the particles of gas and dust were pulled so tightly together that they combined, or fused, together, initiating nuclear fusion . Once nuclear fusion began, the sun was born.

Solar System Models:
These were created to explain observations of how planets and other objects in the night sky
moved.
The geocentric model put Earth at the center of the solar system.
The heliocentric model puts the sun at the center of the solar system.

Claudius Ptolemy: Ptolemy wrote a book that contained the key astronomical ideas of the time. From about 150 AD, his model dominated scientific thought. He thought the solar system was geocentric—the planets and sun travel around Earth in “epicycles,” or large perfectly circular orbits. His model is also known as the Ptolemaic view of the solar system. Prior to Ptolemy, other ancient philosophers, such as Aristotle, also suggested the universe was geocentric, but Ptolemy was the first to explain this model in detail.
Nicolaus Copernicus: Copernicus is considered the father of modern astronomy. Born in 1543, he used scientific measurements of the planets and stars. He published a book with the then-controversial idea that Earth was not at the center of the universe. He provided data and evidence to show that the solar system was heliocentric. This idea was not very popular in his day because it challenged the Ptolemaic view which had become the Roman Catholic Church’s official explanation. To the church, Copernicus’s idea that Earth was not at the center of the universe was antireligious heresy.

Tycho Brahe: Brahe built one of the first scientific observatories designed solely to study the sky. He was a diligent note taker and made many calculated observations of the movement of objects in the universe. He is known as the “man with the golden nose” because he lost the tip of his nose during a duel and had a brass and gold nose replacement.
Johannes Kepler: Brahe hired Kepler as an assistant in the late 16th century. After Brahe’s death, Kepler used the meticulous notes and data gathered by Brahe to make discoveries about the motion of the planets. Kepler’s work proved Copernicus’s view that the solar system was heliocentric. Kepler also introduced the word “satellite” and became the first person to suggest the sun rotates.

Galileo Galilei: Galileo was the first person to scientifically observe rotation of celestial objects. He constructed one of the earliest telescopes and was the first to use a telescope to study the night sky. He identified several of Jupiter’s moons by studying the planet. This led him to suggest that it was like a solar system in miniature with Jupiter at the center. The church rejected Galileo’s views and threatened him with death.
Sir Isaac Newton: Newton was a mathematician and philosopher credited with many discoveries. He was the first to describe gravity and how the planets moved as a result of gravitational forces. He invented the reflecting telescope, which today is the main type of telescope used by astronomers. He also discovered that white light is made up of all colors, enabling astronomers to better understand the composition of stars.

KEPLER’S LAWSKepler’s laws allow you to calculate the shape and duration of a planet’s orbit.
**Please use the interactive activity on Discover page 2, “Kepler’s Laws” tab to help in your understanding of these three laws.
![Page 139: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/139.jpg)
Kepler’s 1st law tells us: “A planet travels around the sun in an elliptical orbit with the
sun at one focus.”
The planet's path is an ellipse (oval/ egg-shaped) with the Sun at a focus (off-center).
![Page 140: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/140.jpg)
The planet speed changes along the orbit, (it moves slower in the more distant parts of the orbit). Lines are drawn to the planet position at equal 1/10 period intervals. These lines are closer together in the outer part of the orbit since the planet position doesnot change as rapidly there.
Kepler’s second law states that the motion of the planets around the sun covers the same area in the same amount of time.

Kepler’s third law defines the time it takes a planet to complete one orbit around the sun.
According to the law, the square of the period (or P) equals the cube of the distance to the planet in AU (or A).
The time it takes a planet to make one orbit is called the period (P).
![Page 142: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/142.jpg)
For example, Mars completes one orbital period about every 1.85 Earth years. Mars’ average distance from the sun is about 1.5 AU (or 225 million kilometers).
From these facts, P = 1.85 and A = 1.5.
So Kepler’s third law is correct: 1.85 squared and 1.5 cubed both equal approximately 3.5.

For there to be gravity… does there need to be air?
![Page 153: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/153.jpg)
Gravity-A force of attraction between two objects that depends on two things: mass and distance.
1.) The larger the mass the greater the gravitation attraction.2.) The closer the two objects the stronger the attraction.
Air resistance is caused by the friction between a falling object and the particles in air. The amount of air resistance a falling object experiences is based on the shape of the object and the speed at which it falls.
![Page 154: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/154.jpg)
GALILEOHis observations of the movement of objects on Earth led him to conclude that all objects accelerate as they fall.
![Page 155: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/155.jpg)
Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.When we are talking about the acceleration of a falling
object it would be: “… an increase in speed over time”.
Positive acceleration can result from an increase in speed. Negative acceleration, also called deceleration, results from a decrease in speed.
Acceleration of a falling object is due to gravity. All objects fall at a constant rate, the only reason we see them falling different is due to other forces acting on the objects.

Newton’s laws of Motion• 1st law: An object in motion will remain in
motion, at a constant velocity, unless an outside force acts on it. And an object at rest will remain at rest unless an outside force acts on it.– Example:
This ball will sit here forever, and ever, and ever unless something acts on it; like someone kicks it.

Properties of the sunThe sun is made of plasma.
Plasma is the fourth state of matter. It comprises electrons and charged atoms, known as ions.
The sun is made up mostly of hydrogen and some helium gasses. The sun makes up 99.9 percent of all the matter in the solar system.
(*That means that EVERYTHING else out there is only .1% of the total mass – so the sun is huge!)
The sun is nearly 110 times wider than Earth. About 1 million Earths would fit inside the sun.
The surface of the sun has a temperature of about 5,500 degrees Celsius. At the sun’s core, temperatures are about 15 million degrees Celsius.

Planet Jupiter’s gravitational pull can actually pull an asteroid out of the belt, sending it floating in space… they think an asteroid is what caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Comets A comet has a solid rocky core (center or nucleus) and is made of frozen gases on the surface.
Comets travel around the sun and when they travel close (they pass it), the frozen gases on the surface start to melt (from the hot temperatures of the sun), and we see (as a result of the solar wind blowing these melting gases) what appears to be a tail (which always points away
from the sun, since the solar wind it blowing from the sun).

MeteorsThey are just a streak of light that is formed when pieces of space debris (flying stuff / tiny pieces of rock), called meteoroids, burn
up in Earth's atmosphere.
What we think of as shooting stars.
When a meteor hits our atmosphere they rub together, when they do this causes friction. The friction causes the meteor to start to
burn up and what we see is the light.
Once a meteor hits Earth's surface, it is called a meteorite. An impact crater forms when one object in space collides with another object.

Model of the Sun and Earth (models allow us to look at things that are normally too big or too small to view otherwise).
Earth revolves around the sun in an elliptical (egg-shaped) orbit, at a speed of 29.79 km/sec (107,244 km/h), and an average distance of 150 million km.
Earth and most other planets orbit the sun in a disk-shaped region known as the ecliptic plane.

Earth is tilted either toward or away from the sun for almost half of the year.
When any potion of Earth is tilted toward the sun, the angle of solar radiation that strikes Earth’s surface is greater—there is less atmosphere for the sun’s radiation to travel through before it reaches Earth’s surface, and we see the sun rise higher in the sky. Hence, the tilt of Earth’s rotational axis is the reason Earth experiences
seasonal changes.

Because solar radiation strikes the equator most constantly, seasons there are less pronounced
than at regions farther from the equator.

Convection currents in the mantle:
The inside of Earth is very hot. The heat creates a convection current within the mantle that flows from the core to the crust.
The current cools down as it approaches Earth's surface. It begins to move horizontally along the bottom of the crust.
As it continues to cool, it will descend toward the inner Earth, where the temperature increases. This increase in temperature causes the current to rise again.

CARBON CYCLE:The movement of carbon (an element) between living and non-living things.
Elements, like carbon, are taken (or used) from one of Earth’s spheres and then used in living organisms. When the living organism dies, the elements (like carbon) are returned to one of the spheres. The elements are then available to be reused by other living organisms. This process happens over and over…

ISSUES:“Earth contains a lot of carbon. If all the carbon on Earth were released from its long-term storage in rocks, fossil fuels, and the deep ocean, the carbon cycle would be completely off balance.”
We must keep a balance between what is stored and what is released.
Unfortunately, carbon being released, in large amounts, into the atmosphere by people and we are not balancing that by the same amount of carbon being returned to long-term storage.
When we are releasing lots of carbon and the balance is off, this contributes to climate change.

QUESTION:Alfred Wegener (a German scientist) asked a question;
Do the coastlines of continents separated today show evidence that they once
matched?If we went around the world and looked at all of the coastlines (on different continents) would we see things that would make us believe they used to fit together (the continents).
![Page 235: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/235.jpg)
ANSWER:Yes, they do.
Wegener (and other scientists) found matching animal fossils on coastlines of different continents and also matching geologic structures on different continents. From that discovery he developed the:
“Theory of Continental Drift”
Wegener proposed the idea that once upon a time all of the continents fit together like a puzzle, and were one massive continent called: Pangaea

“The asthenosphere of Earth acts like a conveyor belt moving slabs of lithosphere.”
“Plates on Earth move as a result of convection deep within Earth. Convection in the mantle of Earth results from the rising of hot rock material and the sinking of cooler rock material. The constant rise and fall of material leads to the formation of convection cells.”

The landscape of the Earth is formed and re-formed over time. There are things that can impact the geosphere and change it, such as:
• Wind• Water• Freezing• Gravity
Erosion
![Page 262: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/262.jpg)
Tectonic Plates
Earth's surface has interlocking plates known as tectonic plates, or lithospheric plates.
“The movement of the plates breaks the crust in various locations known as faults. A fault can, but does not necessarily, indicate the edge of a tectonic plate.”
![Page 263: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/263.jpg)
Movement of Faults
![Page 264: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/264.jpg)
About a fault:
The hanging wall is the block of rock above the angle of the fault plane.
The footwall is the block of rock below the angle of the fault plane.
The place where two segments of Earth’s crust come in contact with each other at a fault is called the fault plane. The fault plane is usually at an angle.
(*The location of the fault plane determines how each side of the fault is named.)

Movement of Faults
Normal Faults
Normal faults form as two segments of crust pull away from each other at divergent plate boundaries. The hanging wall drops down relative to the footwall, or the footwall moves up relative to the hanging wall. Normal faults form as a result of a type of stress known as tension stress.
![Page 267: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/267.jpg)
Movement of Faults
Reverse Faults
Reverse faults are also known as thrust faults. These faults occur along convergent plate boundaries, where lithospheric plates come together. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall is “thrust” up—that is, it moves up relative to the footwall. Reverse faults form from a type of stress known as compression stress.
![Page 268: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/268.jpg)
Movement of Faults
Strike-Slip (Lateral) Faults
Strike-slip faults, also known as lateral faults, occur where two blocks of crust move past each other in opposite directions. Strike-slip faults are common along transform plate boundaries, where tectonic plates slide past each other.
Strike-slip faults form from a type of stress known as shear stress.

There is land under the ocean, (the ocean floor)
and the movement of the plates under the water can give rise to ISLANDS (and
other structures).
An island is land that is completely surrounded by water.
![Page 277: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/277.jpg)
An island is land that is completely surrounded by water.
Islands form as a result of oceanic plates pushing against each other (at a
subduction zone).

Hotspots
The oceanic plate moves (very slowly) over a “plume” which is releasing the magma. Because the plate is moving, as it cools it forms a chain of islands.
Volcanoes that form over hotspots are known as shield volcanoes.

“The process of mountain building takes time—typically many millions of
years.”
Geologic structures are constantly forming and re-forming, but usually so slow that
you wouldn’t notice at all.
“Geologic structures build up as a result of processes resulting from tectonic plate
movement: volcanism, folding, and faulting.”

VolcanoesVolcanoes are usually found where two tectonic plates meet (plate boundaries). Remember some volcanoes can form at a hotspot (away from boundaries).
Usually volcanoes build mountains.A volcano is any location where molten rock and other materials make their way to Earth’s crust and onto the surface.

Types of Volcanoes
Cylinder cone: Magma and ash shoot out and harden in the air, then pile up on the sides creating the cone.
Stratovolcano: These are formed from alternating eruptions; creating a steep cone.
Shield Volcano: Very wide slopes; usually form over a hot spot.
Lava Dome: Really thick lava piles up as it exits the vent; usually formed by one eruption.

Earthquakes
The upper part of the Earth’s crust is pretty breakable (they call this brittle). When it is under “stress” from movements below it can break; this is an earthquake.
![Page 293: Segment 2 Final Exam Review](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061422/56815df4550346895dcc2a8c/html5/thumbnails/293.jpg)
EarthquakesEarthquakes happen along boundaries (usually transform boundaries). When the rock breaks energy is released, this is called seismic energy or waves.
“A seismic wave is any ground movement that results from energy released during an earthquake. The point in the Earth’s crust where the rock ruptures is the focus. The point on Earth’s surface directly above the focus is the epicenter.“

Modeling Geologic Events
Scientists use models to help understand what will happen during a geologic event, such as an earthquake or volcano eruption.
Creating a model allows them to attempt to see what type of damage could occur as a result of one of those events and how intense the event could be.
