Introduction
Geology is the study of changes to the
earth.
Geological changes that will be examined
include: earthquakes, plate tectonics,
fossilization, glaciations, geological
characteristics through each era,
extinctions and climate change.
What do you know about each of these
geological changes?

CREATION
Earth has a history of
development by a
change lasting
thousands or millions
of years.
Earth was created by
a superior being

Source of Oxygen
Cyanobacteria contained chlorophyll
which traps the suns energy to make
glucose (food) and oxygen. This process
is called photosynthesis.
PHOTOSYNTHESIS:
Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Glucose + Oxygen
6 CO2 + 6 H20 C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Definitions
stratigraphic sequence: a sequence of rocks that
provides a chronological record of a regions
geological history
relative dating: the process of placing rocks &
geological structures in the correct chronological order
Absolute dating: the exact time that has elapsed
since an event occurred
intrusion: a body of rock that forms from the invasion
of magma into a pre-existing rock formation. An
intrusion is younger than the pre-existing rock it
moved into.
Extrusion: a rock the sticks out of the soil

Marie Currie discovered radioacitivity the emission
of energy from the nuclei of unstable atoms as the

Earthquakes
Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates inside
the earth move against each other. These areas
are called faults.
Push your hands together tightly. Try to move
the hands past each other. You should notice
that there is friction and heat. This is what
happens in earthquakes to a larger degree.

Earthquakes locating
epicenter & magnitude
1. Find three or more seismograms from three
different seismic stations.
a) Find the difference in time between when the P
wave arrives and the S wave arrives (S-P time) for
each seismogram. (units: s)
b) Find the highest magnitude of the S wave for each
seismogram. (units: mm)

Earthquakes locating
epicenter & magnitude
2. Using the magnitude
chart, draw a line between
the amplitude and the S-P
time for each seismogram.
Where all the lines cross
is the magnitude.
Eg) 3.0

3. Using the distances on
the left of the magnitude
chart as a radius, draw
a circle (to scale) for
each seismogram.
Where the three +
circles intersect is the
epicentre of the
earthquake.

Theories of
change
In the early 1900's
Alfred Wegener
introduced the
continental drift
theory. It stated that
a super continent
called Pangaea
(meaning "all lands"
in Greek) began to
break up about 225200 million years
ago, eventually
fragmenting into the
continents as we
know them today.
