Potential Workshop Theme:

Beauty and the Beast:“The same earthquake and volcanic activity thatthreatens our lives also nourishes our spirits byforming the dramatic landscape of the ColoradoPlateau and Rio Grande Rift.”

A nationwide effort to …..• Explore the structure and evolution of North American continent• Study processes that cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

Rio Grande Rift

• Science Content– Basic geology: plate tectonics and

the dynamic landscape– EarthScope monitoring of the

landscape

• Interpretive Methods– “Beauty and the Beast”

• Inspiring landscapes are formed bygeological processes

• Same processes result inearthquakes and volcanic eruptions

– Participants participate:• Work in groups to prepare and

present interpretive programs thatincorporate EarthScope

• Field trip to brainstorm aboutlandscape and EarthScopeobservations

Park Lands: East vs. West


Why are there so many more parksin the West compared to the East?Why is the West so elevated comparedto the East?

• Tectonics:• From the Greek “tecton” - builder

- “architect”• The study of large features

on Earth’s surface and theprocesses that form them.

• Large features:– continents– ocean basins– mountain ranges

• and processes:– earthquakes– volcanic eruptions

• due to movement of plates ofEarth’s outer shell.

Oreo® Psycho-Personality Test www.superkids.com/aweb/pages/humor/050199.sht

• Psychologists have discovered that the manner in which peopleeat Oreo® cookies provides great insight into their personalities.Choose which method best describes your favorite method ofeating Oreos:

• 1. The whole thing at once.2. One bite at a time.3. Slow and methodical nibbles examining the results of each bite

afterwards.4. In little feverous nibbles.5. Dunked in some liquid (milk, coffee …..)6. Twisted apart, the inside, then the cookie.7. Twisted apart, the inside, and toss the cookie.8. Just the cookie, not the inside.9. I just like to lick them, not eat them.10. I don’t have a favorite way because I don’t like Oreos.

6. Twisted apart, theinside, then the cookie.

• You have a highly curious nature.• You take pleasure in breaking things apart

to find out how they work, though you’renot always able to put them back together,so you destroy all the evidence of youractivities.

• You deny your involvement when things gowrong.

• You are a compulsive liar and exhibitdeviant, if not criminal, behavior.

Wegener's Dream"This [direct measurement of continental drift] must beleft to the geodesists. I have no doubt that in the not toodistant future we will be successful in making a precisemeasurement of the drift of North America relative toEurope."-- Alfred Wegener, 1929

From UNAVCOTeacher Workshop


1) Pull-Apart (Extensional) Forces:- Fault-Block mountains- “Basins” and “Ranges”

2) Elevated Topography:- Due to shallow, hot mantle (asthenosphere)

3) Volcanism:- Hot asthenosphere rises and melts as pressure drops

San Andreas Fault


Features Developed alongTRANSFORM PLATE BOUNDARY

A transform boundary is a nearly-vertical breakbetween two plates of lithosphere.



A mass of rock formed on the plate before it brokein two may be cut by the transform boundary.



The distance between the displaced fragments is a clue to theamount of plate motion since the rock mass formed.



The transform plate boundary is a broad zone ofdeformation between the two plates.



Earthquakes occur as the plates stick together forsome time, then suddenly let go.
