This PowerPoint is one small part of the Geology Topics unit from www.sciencepowerpoint.com. This unit consists of a five part 6000+ slide PowerPoint roadmap, 14 page bundled homework package, modified homework, detailed answer keys, 12 pages of unit notes for students who may require assistance, follow along worksheets, and many review games. The homework and lesson notes chronologically follow the PowerPoint slideshow. The answer keys and unit notes are great for support professionals. The activities and discussion questions in the slideshow are meaningful. The PowerPoint includes built-in instructions, visuals, and review questions. Also included are critical class notes (color coded red), project ideas, video links, and review games. This unit also includes four PowerPoint review games (110+ slides each with Answers), 38+ video links, lab handouts, activity sheets, rubrics, materials list, templates, guides, 6 PowerPoint review Game, and much more. Also included is a 190 slide first day of school PowerPoint presentation. Areas of Focus within The Geology Topics Unit: -Plate Tectonics, Evidence for Plate Tectonics, Pangea, Energy Waves, Layers of the Earth, Heat Transfer, Types of Crust, Plate Boundaries, Hot Spots, Volcanoes, Positives and Negatives of Volcanoes, Types of Volcanoes, Parts of a Volcano, Magma, Types of Lava, Viscosity, Earthquakes, Faults, Folds, Seismograph, Richter Scale, Seismograph, Tsunami's, Rocks, Minerals, Crystals, Uses of Minerals, Types of Crystals, Physical Properties of Minerals, Rock Cycle, Common Igneous Rocks, Common Sedimentary Rocks, Common Metamorphic Rocks. This unit aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards and with Common Core Standards for ELA and Literacy for Science and Technical Subjects.

34. Note: Although difficult, Volcanologist can use data
to predict when a volcano may erupt. Seismometers
can be used to pinpoint earthquakes which track the
rise of magma and its movement along fissures. The
tilt of the mountain can also be used as well as
instruments that collect gas samples.

40. • Mt. Vesuvius
– Erupted violently August 24, 79 AD
– Molten debris engulfed the surrounding area.

for almost 1700 years until excavated.
– These excavations continue today and provide
insight into life during the Roman Empire

54. • Why do volcanoes erupt?

55. • Why do volcanoes erupt?
• When rock from the mantle melts, it moves
to the surface through the crust, and
releases pent-up gases which can erupt.

56. • Activity! Volcanic Explosion.
– A volcano is a lot like a bottle of soda exploding.
– Like soda, molten earth contains gases.
– These gases create a frothy cloudy explosion.
– Note the air spaces in the volcanic rock Pumice.
