Tectonic mountains -

Block faulting -

Oceanic crust -

Mountain belts -

Mountains built by tectonic forces.

Tension forces rock to to move

The crust underneath the ocean

Contain mountain ranges that are parallel to each other

Vocab Vocab cont.cont.

Hot spot -

Isostatic-

A place were most earthquakes or volcanoes are occurring .

Subjected to equal pressure from every side

History

The earliest american eruption of mount. Kilauea was in november of 1790.

The latest eruption was in Jan- 3 of 1983 The worlds earliest known earhtquake was in

china in 1177B.C. Mount. Pinatubo erupted in 1991 and changed

global temp. The first urban civillization was on the

hymalayas and that is when man first made cave homes.

Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes

Many volcanoes are underwater they are mostly located around the mid Atlantic ridge and east pacific rise

Volcanoes above water that are active are around the convergent plate boundaries

Mount Pinatubo erupted in 1991 and released sulfur dioxide in to the atmosphere which cooled the temperatures worldwide

Earthquakes An earthquake is a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that

creates seismic waves

When the Earth's plates slip, it creates the fault that is the center of the earthquake

The sudden shift in plates can cause landslides, tsunamis, and sometimes volcanic eruptions

Hot Spots and

Mountain Building Hot Spots The Hawaiian islands

form a series of hots spots

The source of heat is thought to be the decay of radioactive elements

Caused by narrow streams of hot mantle

Mountain building Mountain building contains

three stages ...

1. Accumulation of sediment

2. A period of rock deformation

3. crust uplift Volcanic rocks can be found

on mountains from oceanic crust

Part of the Himalayas are young and are still actively uplifting

Impact on Humans Earthquakes are known

for their destruction Millions have died because

of them and billions of dollars have been spent for repairs

Volcano eruptions can be good or bad

They can force people to leave their homes and everything can be destroyed.

Volcano eruptions over time can also build up to form islands – like Hawaii
