Landforms by ALEJANDRO GONZALEZ

Tectonics Plates

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-15 21:34:29 UTC

There are 7 Tectonics plates in the earth surface,the tectonics plates move very slowly about 2 cm per year.

Pangea (super continent)

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-15 21:49:21 UTC

Pangea broke apart millions ago by the tectonics plates,The continents looks like they could fit like a puzzle

Plates of the world

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-16 22:03:10 UTC

What happens when 2 plates collide?

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-17 21:23:13 UTC

1.Mountains are created.
2.It causes earthquakes

What when plates pull apart?

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-17 21:29:48 UTC

A basic or rift is formed,this could contain an ocean or a dry valley.

erosion

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-22 21:30:49 UTC

The movement of weathered rocks by natural forces,water causes most erosion.

weathering

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-22 21:31:32 UTC

The process that makes places as rocks,and other parts of the geosphere,and they are broken down into smaller pieces

Mechanical weathering

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-22 21:49:54 UTC

The process of breaking big rocks and make in them little rocks,this can be caused because frost,ice,plant,roots,running water,or sun heat.

Chemical weathering

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-22 21:56:00 UTC

Involves changes that some substances cause in the surface in the rock that make it change,shape or color,some examples that cause this are carbon dioxide,oxygen,and acid.
Examples:chemical weathering is the breaking down of rocks,and it affect all the types of rock because they have a greater surface area for their size.

Water erosion

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-24 21:24:05 UTC

Water erosion occurs when water transport soil and other natural particles from one place to another,the four types of water erosion are interill,rill,gully,and streamback erosion.

Wind erosion

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-24 21:24:27 UTC

Wind erosion occurs when wind carries particles of soil and displaces it from one place to another,this is one of the weakest types of erosion,yett has serious negative effects on the enviroment.

Glacial erosion

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-24 21:25:38 UTC

Glacial erosion are massive mountains of ice which move extremely slowly,when a glacier hits land,water melts below the glacier and seeps into soil,this causes the displacement of dirt particles as well as the weakening of soil slayers,the glacier now has an abrasive underside,filled with rocks and other particles

earthquakes

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-28 21:22:45 UTC

Plate tectonics made the earthquakes.
The Fault line causes earthquakes too.

Types of earthquakes

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-28 21:29:10 UTC

Divergent:it pull apart the plates and it can make a river,valleys,rifts,or basins.
Convergent:they push together or colliding each other and it can make mountains,mesas,and volcanoes.
Transform:the plates rub against each other.

Fault lines

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-28 21:55:23 UTC

A Fault lines is created by a shift in the earth,like an earthquake,it is a fracture or a break in the ground,there are 3 types of fault lines,like:normal,strike,slip

Types of fault lines

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-29 21:25:22 UTC

1.Normal:These fault lines pull apart,creating space,and they can create a special valley called rift valley.
2.Strike:These types of faults happen when 2 tectonic plates slide past each other with no vertical movement.
3.Thrust (that mean Reverse)
These types of faults makes mountains,they happen because 2 tectonic plates slides on top of each other and push apart each other.

seismograph and Richter Scale

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-29 21:43:52 UTC

A seismograph is a tool that predict earthquakes,By making lines,and let you know how much the world is moving,and it makes the lines by a pen of the machine.The Richter Scale is a number value based on the measurements of of the seismograph

epicenter

alejgonz9677 — 2019-01-29 21:44:26 UTC

epicenter is the point of the earth that is directly above the crust where an earthquake explosion originates.This were the movement takes places and is really strong

uplift

alejgonz9677 — 2019-02-05 21:44:58 UTC

When plates or fault lines converge or come together the earth,s crust (rock) piles on top of each other

plateau

alejgonz9677 — 2019-02-05 21:46:05 UTC

Many plateau form magma inside the earth. Pushing toward the surface, but fails thought breaking the surface to get outside. It is caused by a uplift, it is a large flat area of land that is higher than their surroundings, and why is flat?.
Because by the erosion and by tectonics plates action's, this to weathering (rocks break down) from water wind or ice. The rocks are eroded (carried away) by wind and water. That a plateau are made of sedimentary

mesa

alejgonz9677 — 2019-02-05 21:46:40 UTC

Tall,wide,and has steep sides. This land created because of plateaus.Weathering and erosion create the details on top.

butte

alejgonz9677 — 2019-02-05 21:46:47 UTC

it means an insulated hill or mountain that take the step sides (yep this is what i found) it is tall,thin.
this land form because plateaus.
Weathering and erosion create the details on top. Sedimentary rock

normal fault (Fault blocks)

alejgonz9677 — 2019-02-08 17:24:21 UTC

formed when tension causes large blocks of the earth's crust to drop down by other blocks.
The dropped down part is a valley while the raised part becomes a mountain. Sedimentary rocks

How far is away the wasatch mountains

alejgonz9677 — 2019-02-08 17:41:22 UTC

are 10,000 feets.

Dome mountain

alejgonz9677 — 2019-02-12 21:29:31 UTC

like a volcano except that the magma does not come to surface.The top is closed over with a dome

volcano

alejgonz9677 — 2019-02-12 21:35:04 UTC

A volcano is mountain that opens downward into a pool of molten rock (magma)below the surface of the earth .The magma reach to surface and come out out it's called lava.
Hawaiian islands were created because of volcanoes.

Folded mountains

alejgonz9677 — 2019-02-12 21:46:01 UTC

Folded mountains are 2 or more tectonic plates pushed together.
Folded mountains are mountains that form manually by the effects of folding layers within the upper parts of the earth's crust

Grand canyon formation

alejgonz9677 — 2019-02-19 21:28:51 UTC

What? The Colorado river eroded the bottom of the canyon. This is why is so deep. The rain water help eroded the sides of the mountain making sides step.

How?Weathering (breaking materials) and erosion (moving materials

Grand canyon timeline

alejgonz9677 — 2019-02-21 22:10:47 UTC

1.8 billion years ago large mountains.
2.1.799 billion years ago mountains eroded.
3.1 billion years ago large body of water/ocean.
4.80 million years ago. The pacific plate went underneath the north american plate causing uplift and created the Colorado plateau.
5.5 million years ago Colorado river begin to flow.
6-8 5 million years ago to the present day. canyon walls form from the and rain.

Hoodoo

alejgonz9677 — 2019-02-25 21:23:24 UTC

tall thin made of sandstone .Skinnier or thinner than a butte.
Land form eroded from a plateau. Sedimentary rocks

Arch land form

alejgonz9677 — 2019-02-25 21:25:00 UTC

An arch made of rock

Deposition

alejgonz9677 — 2019-02-25 21:25:39 UTC

When eroded material end up in a new place. Layers in rocks.
It is made of sediment rock.

Plateau timeline

alejgonz9677 — 2019-02-27 21:59:20 UTC

Island

2019-03-12 20:23:00 UTC

The Hawaiian Island are formed by volcanic eruptions. Island in the ocean are either tops of volcanoes or mountains

Earthquakes Can create:Fault scarps,and Mountains and valleys

2019-03-12 20:32:48 UTC

Rivers

2019-03-12 20:42:16 UTC

Rivers are not straight. They curve and wind along their path.
River eroded/created the v shaped canyons

canyons
Big cottonwood canyon
Millcreek canyon

Glaciers

2019-03-12 20:49:07 UTC

Erode/created U shaped canyons
Little cottonwood canyons

Peninsula

2019-03-15 17:47:26 UTC

peninsula is a land that has 4 sides. 3 Of the sides are surround in water and the 4th side is a large mass of earth.

Delta

2019-03-15 17:49:34 UTC

A delta is a land that is surround by water and has the shape of a triangle.
How it is created:some of the earth is eroded and when it get's to the ocean. It is starting to deposit and then it create the Delta.

moraine

2019-03-15 17:53:16 UTC

Ridge-like landform deposited at the end or sides of a glacier.
Is like a mini-mountain.
