Science Today (12/1): • Mountains & Volcanoes vocab. Pre-quiz • Distribute Q2 progress reports • Construct Mountains & Volcanoes unit vocab. organizer
Important Dates: • Tues. 12/1: EQ Review Session (after school 3:15-3:45) * You must attend the review session to retake the test!!! • Thurs. 12/3: EQ Test retakes (after school 3:15-4:00 )
Science Today: • Work Time: Intro. to Topographic Maps You have the first 15 minutes to complete this activity with your group (or get very close to completion). 2. When you finish: Work on vocab. organizer
Mountain Maker Procedure Part One • Assemble Mt. Shasta Model • Create a Topographic Map of Mt. Shasta • Create a Profile View • When you finish: • Finish Intro. to Topographic Maps • Work on Mtns./Volcanoes Vocab organizer
Science Today (12/2) • Mountains & Volcanoes Vocab. Intro. • Words of the Day • 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.
Vocabulary from Textbook: Acid Rain Magma Cinder Cone Volcano Mud Flow Composite Volcano Pyroclastic Flow Fault-Block Mountain Sediment Folded Mountain Shield Volcano Geyser Lava Lava Flow
Additional Words: Aa Viscosity Caldera Volcanic Ash Dormant Volcanic Bomb Extinct Felsic Lahar Mafic Pahoehoe Silica Stratovolcano
Words of the Day: Dormant Volcano: A volcano that is not currently erupting but it considered likely to erupt in the future. Extinct Volcano: A volcano that is not expected to erupt again.
Intro to Topographic Maps: • Complete Intro. to Topographic Maps activity in packet (page 1 front & back) When you finish: Work on mountains & volcanoes vocabulary organizer
Additional Vocab. Aa: A Hawaiian term to describe a type of lava. Aa is characterized by chunks of rough, jagged, spiny lava. Dormant Volcano: A volcano that is not currently erupting but it considered likely to erupt in the future.
Where in the World? (Major Volcanic Eruptions Edition)
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 • 1792 • Casualties: 15,000 • Major Cause: Landslides, Tsunamis
Vesuvius, Italy * 1631 • Casualties: 3,500 • Major Cause: Pyroclastic Flows
Mt. Pinatubo, Philippines • 1991 • Casualties: >700 • Major Cause: Pyroclastic Flows
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: 12/8 • Introduce Unit Daily Work Expectations • Quiet, Independent Work Time- • 3.1 Reading • 3.1 Daily work piece 3. Science Ender: Review Mountain Types
Science Today: 12/8 • Mountains & Volcanoes Daily Work • 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 Folded 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
Fault-Block Mountains Mountains 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-doh • The play-doh shall be shaped on the waxed paper only. • 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 • 3.1, 3.2 & 3.3 Readings & Daily Work Pieces • Vocab. Organizer • 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) • 3.1 reading & daily work piece • 3.2 reading & daily work piece • Ring of Fire: Volcano type research (tan packet) • 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.
