#1 Sedimentary rock is
3c
formed when small
particles of rock,
evaporites or organic
material accumulate
in layers and are
subjected to great
pressure.

Igneous rock forms
from the cooling of a
hot, molten mass of
rock, either below the
Earth’s surface
(intrusive) or above
the Earth’s surface
(extrusive).

Intrusive magma
cools more slowly
and creates larger
crystals than
extrusive magma.

Metamorphic, igneous

subjected to heat and
pressure become
metamorphic rock.

marble.)

Rocks melt only

conditions, the
combination of
temperature,
pressure and
chemical makeup.

The Earth is

moving.

The driving force of
plate tectonics and
seafloor spreading is
probably related to
convection currents in
the Earth’s mantle especially the
asthenosphere.

The theory of seafloor
spreading explains
that continents “ride”
with the ocean floor
as it moves away from
the ridges.

Ocean Ridge

New crust is
formed at ocean
ridges and
destroyed at the
trenches.

Magnetic bands of
different polarities
create mirror images
on opposite sides of
the mid-ocean ridges.
This provides
evidence for seafloor
spreading.

The continental crust
is much older than the
oceanic crust. This is
evidence that
supports seafloor
spreading.

Convergent plates
move towards each
other. Divergent
plates move away
from each other.
Transform plates
move past each other.

In a transform
boundary, two
plates move
horizontally past
each other. Faults
and earthquakes
occur here.

In a divergent boundary,
plates separate creating
a rift. Most are
underwater (ocean
ridges), but a few are on
land (Great Rift Valley in
East Africa).

In a continentaloceanic boundary,
ocean crust is
subducted.
Volcanic mountains
are created.

In a continentalcontinental convergent

energy released by an
earthquake and can be
measured by using
several different scales
such as the Moment
Magnitude scale and the
Richter scale.

Earthquake intensity is a
measure of the severity
of an earthquake based
on observations of its
effect on Earth’s surface,
buildings and people. It
is rated by the Modified
Mercalli scale.

Earthquakes occur
when the stress on
a fracture in the
Earth (fault) is
greater than the
strength of the
rocks.

Volcanoes are
classified into 3
types based on
size, shape, type
of magma and
type of eruption.
SHIELD

Shield volcanoes
are the largest
with gently sloping
sides and nonexplosive basaltic
lava flows.

COMPOSITE

Composite (strato)
volcanoes are large, have
steep sides with layers of
lava flows and explosive
debris, often separate
vents, usually violent
eruptions and have varied
magma types.

Cinder cone
volcanoes are the
smallest, have steep
sides from ejected
material, erupt
violently and have
magma high in silica
and water.

Most volcanic eruptions
and earthquakes occur
at plate boundaries.
The majority of both of
these happen in the
circum-pacific belt
(“Ring of Fire”).

California is subject to a
variety of natural hazards
such as tsunamis, coastal
erosion of cliffs,
earthquakes, volcanoes
and landslides of uplifted
areas.

Many of California’s
valuable ore deposits
(ex. gold) are the
result of molten
igneous rocks injected
into older rocks.

Agriculture and
industry are the
basis of California’s
economy and
require large
amounts of water.

Man-made canals
and pipelines
redistribute water
from the northern
part of California to
the southern part.

Northern California
receives most of the
rain but Southern
California requires
most of the water.

Carbon is held in
the reservoirs of

atmosphere,
oceans and fossil

Carbon moves

The energy to move

In the geologic carbon cycle
CO2 in the atmosphere
dissolves in water, is
incorporated into shells and
becomes limestone rock.
Carbon is returned after being
elevated and eroded or
subducted, heated and erupted.
