What are Rocks? What are rocks made of? Rocks are solid aggregates comprised of one or more minerals. What is aggregate in rocks? Aggregate: combinations of particles of minerals. What are minerals in rocks? Naturally occurring inorganic solids with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline internal structure.
Igneous Rock A.K.A. Magmatic rock ...is formed by the cooling and solidifying of molten rock . Examples: Granite, Basalt, Obsidian, etc. Link (1:27): Igneous Rock Intro Process Step One: solid rock is heated until it liquifies • It undergoes a phase change from solid to liquid. Step Two: This molten rock cools until it solidifies • It undergoes a phase change from liquid to solid. Forces Heat: Earth’s interior is very hot ...as hot as the surface of the Sun (10, 800 degrees Fahrenheit) Pressure: Gravity causes tremendous pressure under ground ...the deeper you go, the greater the pressure
Sedimentary Rock Rock formed by lithification (compaction and cementation) of sediment. Three Types: (1) Clastic, (2) Chemical, & (3) Organic Link (3:35): Sedimentary Rock Intro Process Step 1: Weathering (breaking rocks into small pieces) Step 2: Erosion (movement/transportation of these pieces of rock) Step 3: Deposition (accumulation of these pieces) Step 4: Compaction (pressure squeezes the pieces together) Step 5: Cementation (pieces are “glued” together) Forces Gravity: moves rock, makes water fall (rain) and flow downward Thermal Expansion: rock expands/contracts with temp changes Freeze/thaw cycle: ice in pores/cracks expands breaking the rock Glacial Transportation: ice sheets scour, grind, and move rock Chemical Reactions: chemical interactions of the sediment’s atoms
Metamorphic Rock ...is rock that has been changed by heat and pressure. Link (1:38): Metamorphic Rock Process Step 1: rock is exposed to intense heat or tremendous pressure Step 2: physically or chemically alters it, make its more dense Note: sedimentary or igneous rock can become metamorphic rock Forces heat and pressure Contact metamorphism: in contact with a heat sources Regional metamorphism: subjected to pressure over a large area Limestone Sandstone Marble Quartzite Gneiss Granite becomes becomes becomes
Rock Cycle ...is a model that includes the formation, breakdown, and reformation of rocks as a result of sedimentary, igneous, and/or metamorphic processes. Each type of rock can be converted into one of the other types. Link (4:38): 3 Types of Rocks and the Rock Cycle

Lithosphere and Asthenosphere Lithosphere: is the (rigid) crust and (rigid) top part of the mantle. Asthenosphere: (ductile) mantle below the lithosphere, viscous Ductile: flexible, can change form without breaking. Viscous: slow flowing like syrup or honey. solid/rigid solid/ductile solid/rigid solid/ductile
Convection Currents in the Earth Intense Heat: Earth’s interior is very hot ...the core is as hot as the surface of the Sun (10, 800 degrees F) 1) Heat Source 01: heat left over from Earth’s formation. 2) Heat Source 02: heat from radioactive elements in the Earth. Convention Currents: • heated rock rises and cooler rock sinks. • These currents in the asthenosphere move the tectonic plates. Convection Currents Convection Currents Link (1:13): Convection Currents-Planet Earth
Convection Currents in the Earth • asthenosphere is rock that is plastic/ductile(flexible-can flow). • heat rising from the core drives currents in the mantle. • heated mantle rock flows upward, cooler mantle rock sinks
Tectonic Plates Lithosphere is broken into giant slabs of rock called tectonic plates. • There are 7 major tectonic plates and many minor plates. Seven Major Plates (from largest to smallest) 1) Pacific Plate 2) North American Plate 3) Eurasian Plate 4) Africa Plate 5) Antarctic Plate 6) Indo-Australian Plate 7) South American Plate
Tectonic Plates: Two Types 1) continental plates: tectonic plates with continents on them • may also contain some oceans above them 2) oceanic plates: tectonic plates with only oceans above them • Does not include any continents above them
Tectonic Plate Movement • Convection currents in the mantle moves the tectonic plates. Earth in the Past: Pangea Link (1:32): Continental Drift-Pangea Link (3:00): How Mountains Are Made
Plate Boundaries • The location were two plates meet is called a plate boundary.
Seafloor Spreading • Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent boundaries in the oceans • Atlantic Ocean: this process formed the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. • Pacific ocean: this process formed the East-Pacific Rise. • Indian Ocean: this process formed the Southeast-Indian Rise.

Tectonic Plate movement causes earthquakes Earthquakes can occur at all three types of plate boundaries. earthquakes at convergent boundaries in subduction zones are generally very powerful. Convergent Boundary earthquakes at divergent boundaries tend to be shallow and weak. Divergent Boundary earthquakes at transform boundaries tend to be shallow but powerful. Transform Boundary

Notes: Standard 17 8th Grade Science Learning Intention: 8.ESS2.2 (Seismic Waves & Earth’s Structure) Evaluate data collected from seismographs to create a model of Earth’s structure. Terms/Phrases to Investigate data, seismograph, model, and structure Science and Engineering Practice(s) Analyze and Interpret Data, Develop and Use Models Crosscutting Concepts Stability and Change, Energy and Matter, Cause and Effect I Can Statement ...I can create a model of Earth’s internal structure using seismic data.
Seismic Waves ...are waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the Earth. Can also be generated by explosions or impacts.
Seismic Waves: Body Waves ...called body waves because they propagate (move) through the “body” of the Earth. P-Waves A.K.A. primary waves • are compression waves • move through solid and liquid rock • pushes/pulls as it moves through • fastest kind of seismic wave Link (4 sec): P-Wave Animation
Seismic Waves: Body Waves ...called body waves because they propagate (move) through the “body” of the Earth. S-Waves A.K.A. secondary waves • are transverse waves • only move through solid rock • slower than P-Waves • up/down or side to side motion • second wave felt during earthquakes (after P-Waves) Link (5 sec): S-Wave Animation
Seismographs What is a seismograph? A.K.A. seismometer • an instrument that measures and records seismic waves • generally used for detecting and measuring earthquakes • also detects/measures volcanic events and explosions Link (1:04): How a Seismograph Works
Seismogram • a seismogramis the graph output from a seismograph. Seismogram from Alaska Seismogram from California • Richter Scale: a 1 to 9 scale for measuring seismic waves. • Each level is ten times greater than the previous level.
Locate anomalies in this seismic data. Then draw a model of Earth’s structure from this data. Crust Slowed Slowed Mantle Slowed Slowed Repeated Repeated Outer Core Question: Why did the S-Waves stop at 2900 km? Repeated Inner Core
Draw a model of Earth’s structure from the data. Crust Depth: 0 to 50 km Mantle Depth: 50 to 2900 km Outer Core Depth: 2900 to 5200 km Inner Core Depth: 5200 to 6400 km
Earth’s Internal Structure Link (5:49): How We Know About Earth's Interior?
Earth’s Internal Structure • Seismic waves change speed and refract (bend) as they move • through different rock layers. S-Waves stop at liquids. • Understanding this enabled us to analyze seismographic data which reveals Earth’s internal structure.
Review Question Layers of rock inside the Earth have been revealed by analyzing seismic data. Geologists have observed that seismic waves change speed as they move downward toward Earth’s center. What is one location where this is revealed in Seismic Data Table 01, and what best explains this phenomenon? a)At a depth of 2900 kilometers the P-Waves slowed from 7.5 km/s to 0 km/s. This occurred because P-Waves are unable to travel through liquid rock. b) At a depth of 2900 kilometers the P-Waves slowed from 14 km/s to 8 km/s. This occurred as the wave hit the boundary of the mantle and the outer core.
Review Question Layers of rock inside the Earth have been revealed by analyzing seismic data. Geologists have observed that seismic waves change speed as they move downward toward Earth’s center. What is one location where this is revealed in Seismic Data Table 01, and what best explains this phenomenon? a)At a depth of 5200 kilometers the P-Waves slowed from 11 km/s to 10 km/s. This occurred because P-Waves are unable to travel through solid rock. b) After 5200 km, P-Wave speed was a constant 11 km/s all the way to Earth’s center. This occurred as the wave moved from the outer core through the inner core.
