2. Words of the Day
3. Reading Topographic Maps Activity-Mt. Shasta
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.

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:1. 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.
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.
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
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 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!!!
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)
• 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.
