Science Today (12/2)

1. Mountains & Volcanoes Vocab. Intro.

2. Words of the Day

3. Reading Topographic Maps Activity-Mt. Shasta

Mountains & Volcanoes

Big Idea: Mountains & volcanoes form as tectonic plates move.

Smaller Ideas:

3.1: Movement of rock builds mountains.

3.2 Volcanoes form as molten rock erupts.

3.3 Volcanoes affect Earth’s land, air & water.

Where in the World?

(Major Volcanic Eruptions Edition)

Anak Krakatau “Child of Krakatau”

Krakatau, Indonesia

• August 26-27, 1883

• Casualties: 36,000-40,000

• Major Cause of Death: Tsunamis

• The force of this eruption was so great that much of the volcano, and two-thirds of the island itself, collapsed into the sea, triggering 120-foot waves that devastated neighboring islands.

Mount Unzen, Japan

Mount Unzen, Japan

• 1792

• Casualties: 15,000

• Major Cause: Landslides, Tsunamis

Mt. Vesuvius, Italy

Vesuvius, Italy

* 1631

• Casualties: 3,500

• Major Cause: Pyroclastic Flows

Mt. Pinatubo, Philippines

Mt. Pinatubo, Philippines

• 1991

• Casualties: >700

• Major Cause: Pyroclastic Flows

Laki, Iceland

Laki, Iceland

• 1783

• Casualties: 9,000

• Major Cause: Starvation

Additional Vocab:• Extinct: A volcano that is not expected to

erupt again.

• Felsic: Term used to describe volcanic rock or lava composed largely of silica.

Science Today: 12/81. Introduce Unit Daily Work Expectations

2. Quiet, Independent Work Time-

• 3.1 Reading

• 3.1 Daily work piece

3. Science Ender: Review Mountain Types

Science Today: 12/81. Mountains & Volcanoes Daily Work

2. Quiet, Independent Work Time:

• Read section 3.1

• Work on 3.1 daily work item

• * *Mountain Maker packet will be collected today**

3. Summarize Mountain Types

Mountain Types

1. Folded

2. Fault Block

Folded Mountain

Ex. Himalaya Mountains

Folded Mountain: A mountain that forms as continental crust crumples

and bends into folds.

Conditions needed: • Hot temperatures & High pressure• Slow, continual stress

Plate Boundaries: Convergent Boundaries• Continental-continental collision• Oceanic-continental collision

Fault-Block Mountains

Ex. Grand Teton Range, WY

Ex. Sierra Nevada Mtns., CA

Grand Teton Mountains (WY)

Fault-Block MountainsMountains that form as blocks of rock move up/down

along normal faults.

Conditions needed:• Cool & rigid crust• EQ shift rock blocks

Plate Boundaries: Divergent Boundaries • Crust stretched & breaks into blocks• Blocks tilt forming mtns and valleys

Laws of Play-doh1. The play-doh shall be shaped on the

waxed paper only.

2. Use play-doh for good not evil purposes.

3. All play-doh shall be cleaned up before leaving.

What we are doing today:1. Assemble Mt. Play-doh & create

topographic map.

2. Finish Analysis questions in Mountain maker packet.

• Finished Mountain Maker packets due tomorrow (Tues.)!!!

3. Work on unit vocab. organizer.

Quiet, Independent Work Time

1. 3.1, 3.2 & 3.3 Readings & Daily Work Pieces

2. Vocab. Organizer

3. Mapping World Volcanoes Activity

* All Daily Work is due on Friday!!!

Additional Vocab:• Pahoehoe: A Hawaiian term to

describe a type of lava. “Ropy, cake-batter lava”

Science Starter: (on back of coversheet)

In a Venn Diagram, explain the similarities & differences between fault block mountains and folded mountains.

Volcano Vocab. (not in book)

• Silica: (Silicon + Oxygen) Building block of volcanic rocks that controls how well lava flows. The more silica--> the greater viscosity (stickiness)

Viscosity Challenge

* Brought to you by: Silica

• Felsic: Term used to describe volcanic rock or lava composed largely of silica. (ex. Aa)

• Mafic: Term used to describe volcanic rock or lava that does not have much silica. (ex. Pahoehoe)

Quiet, Independent Work Time (~ 25 min.)

Please work quietly on the following:

1. Back of green volcano comparison w.s. (green sheet in packet)

2.3.1 reading & daily work piece

3.3.2 reading & daily work piece

4.Ring of Fire: Volcano type research (tan packet)

5.Vocab. organizer

Volcano Vocab.• Viscosity: A measure of how well a

substance flows.

• Lahar: A flowing mixture of water-saturated rock that forms on a volcano & flows downhill.

• Caldera: A huge crater or hole formed by the collapse of a volcano when magma rapidly erupts from underneath it.
