Internal/External Forces Internal/External Forces Unit 1: Basics of Geography Internal Forces ○ Tectonic plates: enormous moving pieces that form the earth’s crust- continually being reshaped ○ Earthquakes/Volcanoes ○ Move 1 of 4 ways: ○ Spreading ○ Subduction (dive under another plate) ○ Collision ○ Sliding past each other Internal Forces ○ 3 types of boundaries that mark plate movements: 1. Divergent boundary- plates move apart/spread (b/w Saudi Arabia and Egypt) 2. Convergent boundary- plates collide (India crashing into Asia) 3. Transform boundary- plates slide apart (San Andreas Fault) Internal Forces ○ Folds/Faults- 2 plates meet- folding and cracking of rock -Occurs very slowly -Sometimes rock not flexible, cracks cause a fault ○ Earthquakes- Plates grind/slip past each other, causing an earthquake ○ Seismograph detects earthquakes ○ Focus- where an earthquake begins ○ Epicenter- point directly above the focus Internal Forces ○ Landslides, displacement of land, fires (broken gas lines) collapsed buildings ○ Aftershocks and smaller magnitude earthquakes ○ Richter Scale- 2 usually not noticed; 4.5 makes the news ○ Major is 7 or more- Largest reported 8.9 Kermadec Islands, So. Pacific Internal Forces ○ Tsunami- Giant wave in ocean caused by an earthquake up to 450 mph and 50-100 ft. waves ○ 2004 Tsunami hit Dec. 26 Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Somalia ○ Waves about 33 feet high ○ 4th largest in world since 1900….9+ more than 150,000 casualties ○ Volcanoes- Found along tectonic plate boundaries -Magma, gases, and water from the lowest of the crust collect in underground chambers -Magma that reaches the earth’s surface is called lava Internal Forces □ Most dramatic volcano action-eruption- hot lava, gases, ash, dust, rocks explode out of vents in the earth’s crust (often a hill or mountain is formed by lava □ Volcanoes can be active for many years than stop. Can be inactive and become active. □ Ring of Fire- Zone around the rim of the Pacific Ocean- location of the vast majority of active volcanoes Internal Forces ○ 8 major tectonic plates meet in zone. Volcanic action and earthquakes occur frequently. ○ Hot spots- Hot springs and geysers- water heats up and rises to surface ○ Yellowstone- Old Faithful External Forces ○ Weathering- physical and chemical processes that change the characteristics of rock on or near the earth’s surface. Occurs slowly. ○ Creates sediment- smaller and smaller pieces of rock, mud, sand, or silt ○ Mechanical weathering- breaks rock into smaller pieces (construction, drilling, blasting, frost, plant roots External Forces ○ Chemical weathering- Decomposition (break up) Rock is changed into a new substance as a result of interaction b/w elements in the air. ○ Erosion- Weathered material is moved by the action of wind, water, ice or gravity. Glaciers, waves, blowing winds cause erosion; reshapes landforms ○ Water forms a delta (river enters ocean) Waves form beaches External Forces ○ Wind- transports/deposits sediment- sand dunes, rocks, loess (loh-uhs) are wind blown silt/clay sediment ○ Glaciers- large, long lasting mass of ice; cut valleys into the land; rocks left behind may form a ridge or hill; may be tunnels inside or under glacier ○ Soil- weathered rock, organic matter (humus), air, and water External Forces ○ Soil factors: Determine type of vegetation ○ Parent material- chemical composition of original rock ○ Relief- steeper slopes are eroded easily and do not produce soil quickly ○ Organisms- help loosen soil/supply nutrients ○ Climate- hot/cold wet/dry ○ Time- amount of time to produce soil varies (avg 2.5 cc/century).

  • Plate Tectonics Says That Earth’S Plates Move Because of Convection Currents in the Mantle
    Bellringer Which ocean is getting smaller and which ocean is getting bigger due to subduction and sea floor spreading? Plate Tectonic Theory Notes How Plates Move • Earth’s crust is broken into many jagged pieces. The surface is like the shell of a hard-boiled egg that has been rolled. The pieces of Earth’s crust are called plates. Plates carry continents, oceans floors, or both. How Plates Move • The theory of plate tectonics says that Earth’s plates move because of convection currents in the mantle. Currents in the mantle carry plates on Earth’s surface, like currents in water carry boats on a river, or Cheerios in milk. How Plates Move • Plates can meet in three different ways. Plates may pull apart, push together, or slide past each other. Wherever plates meet, you usually get volcanoes, mountain ranges, or ocean trenches. Plate Boundaries • A plate boundary is where two plates meet. Faults form along plate boundaries. A fault is a break in Earth’s crust where blocks of rock have slipped past each other. Plate Boundaries • Where two plates move apart, the boundary is called a divergent boundary. • A divergent boundary between two oceanic plates will result in a mid-ocean ridge AND rift valley. (SEE: Sea-Floor Spreading) • A divergent boundary between two continental plates will result in only a rift valley. This is currently happening at the Great Rift Valley in east Africa. Eventually, the Indian Ocean will pour into the lowered valley and a new ocean will form. Plate Boundaries • Where two plates push together, the boundary is called a convergent boundary.

  • Active Continental Margin
    Encyclopedia of Marine Geosciences DOI 10.1007/978-94-007-6644-0_102-2 # Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014 Active Continental Margin Serge Lallemand* Géosciences Montpellier, University of Montpellier, Montpellier, France Synonyms Convergent boundary; Convergent margin; Destructive margin; Ocean-continent subduction; Oceanic subduction zone; Subduction zone Definition An active continental margin refers to the submerged edge of a continent overriding an oceanic lithosphere at a convergent plate boundary by opposition with a passive continental margin which is the remaining scar at the edge of a continent following continental break-up. The term “active” stresses the importance of the tectonic activity (seismicity, volcanism, mountain building) associated with plate convergence along that boundary. Today, people typically refer to a “subduction zone” rather than an “active margin.” Generalities Active continental margins, i.e., when an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continent, represent about two-thirds of the modern convergent margins. Their cumulated length has been estimated to 45,000 km (Lallemand et al., 2005). Most of them are located in the circum-Pacific (Japan, Kurils, Aleutians, and North, Middle, and South America), Southeast Asia (Ryukyus, Philippines, New Guinea), Indian Ocean (Java, Sumatra, Andaman, Makran), Mediterranean region (Aegea, Cala- bria), or Antilles. They are generally “active” over tens (Tonga, Mariana) or hundreds (Japan, South America) of millions of years. This longevity has consequences on their internal structure, especially in terms of continental growth by tectonic accretion of oceanic terranes, or by arc magmatism, but also sometimes in terms of continental consumption by tectonic erosion. Morphology A continental margin generally extends from the coast down to the abyssal plain (see Fig.

    SIAM J. SCI. COMPUT. c 2007 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Vol. 30, No. 1, pp. 81–101 A HIGH-ORDER SPECTRAL METHOD FOR NONLINEAR WATER WAVES OVER MOVING BOTTOM TOPOGRAPHY∗ † ‡ PHILIPPE GUYENNE AND DAVID P. NICHOLLS Abstract. We present a numerical method for simulations of nonlinear surface water waves over variable bathymetry. It is applicable to either two- or three-dimensional flows, as well as to either static or moving bottom topography. The method is based on the reduction of the problem to a lower-dimensional Hamiltonian system involving boundary quantities alone. A key component of this formulation is the Dirichlet–Neumann operator which, in light of its joint analyticity properties with respect to surface and bottom deformations, is computed using its Taylor series representation. We present new, stabilized forms for the Taylor terms, each of which is efficiently computed by a pseu- dospectral method using the fast Fourier transform. Physically relevant applications are displayed to illustrate the performance of the method; comparisons with analytical solutions and laboratory experiments are provided. Key words. gravity water waves, bathymetry, pseudospectral methods, Dirichlet–Neumann operators, boundary perturbations AMS subject classifications. 76B15, 76B07, 65M70, 35S30 DOI. 10.1137/060666214 1. Introduction. Accurate modeling of surface water wave dynamics over bot- tom topography is of great importance to coastal engineers and has drawn considerable attention in recent years. Here are just a few applications: linear [16, 33] and nonlinear wave shoaling [25, 24, 28, 27], Bragg reflection [35, 15, 36, 14, 30, 33, 4], harmonic wave generation [3, 17, 18], and tsunami generation [37, 22].

  • Plate Tectonics Passport
    What is plate tectonics? The Earth is made up of four layers: inner core, outer core, mantle and crust (the outermost layer where we are!). The Earth’s crust is made up of oceanic crust and continental crust. The crust and uppermost part of the mantle are broken up into pieces called plates, which slowly move around on top of the rest of the mantle. The meeting points between the plates are called plate boundaries and there are three main types: Divergent boundaries (constructive) are where plates are moving away from each other. New crust is created between the two plates. Convergent boundaries (destructive) are where plates are moving towards each other. Old crust is either dragged down into the mantle at a subduction zone or pushed upwards to form mountain ranges. Transform boundaries (conservative) are where are plates are moving past each other. Can you find an example of each type of tectonic plate boundary on the map? Divergent boundary: Convergent boundary: Transform boundary: What do you notice about the location of most of the Earth’s volcanoes? P.1 Iceland Iceland lies on the Mid Atlantic Ridge, a divergent plate boundary where the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate are moving away from each other. As the plates pull apart, molten rock or magma rises up and erupts as lava creating new ocean crust. Volcanic activity formed the island about 16 million years ago and volcanoes continue to form, erupt and shape Iceland’s landscape today. The island is covered with more than 100 volcanoes - some are extinct, but about 30 are currently active.

    PACIFIC PLATE AND ASSOCIATED BOUNDARIES The Pacific Plate • Pacific Plate is the largest plate and an oceanic plate. • It shares its boundaries with numerous plates namely; North American Plate.(Convergent and transform fault) Philippine Plate.(Convergent) Juan de Fuca Plate.(Convergent) Indo – Australian Plate.(Convergent, Transform Fault) Cocos Plate.(Divergent) Nazca Plate.(Divergent) Antarctic Plate.(Divergent,Transform Fault) Types of Plate Boundaries • Convergent Boundary: Subduction zones where two plates converges. Eg; Aleutian Islands(Alaska) • Divergent Boundary: Spreading centres where two plates move away from each other. Eg; East Pacific Rise (MOR, Pacific Ocean). • Transform Faults: Boundary where two plates slide past each other. For Eg. ; San Andreas Fault. BOUNDARY WITH ANTARCTIC PLATE DIVERGENT BOUNDARY • Pacific – Antarctic Ridge TRANSFORM FAULT • Louisville Seamount Chain Pacific – Antarctic Ridge Pacific – Antarctic Ridge(PAR) is located on the seafloor of the South Pacific Ocean. It is driven by the interaction of a mid oceanic ridge and deep mantle plumes located in the eastern portion of East Pacific Ridge. Louisville Seamount Chain It is the longest line of seamount chain in the Pacific Ocean of about 4,300 km, formed along the transform boundary in the western side between Pacific plate and Antarctic plate. It was formed from the Pacific Plate sliding over a long – lived centre of upwelling magma called the Louisville hotspot. BOUNDARY WITH PHILIPPINE PLATE CONVERGENT BOUNDARY • Izu – Ogasawara Trench • Mariana Trench Izu – Ogasawara Trench It is an oceanic trench in the western Pacific Ocean. It stretches from Japan to northern most section of Mariana Trench. Here, the Pacific Plate is being subducted beneath the Philippine Sea Plate.
