The next meeting. I learned to not have so much pictures and more on the relevance of context.

1. ...to be continued
Yeah, I screwed up...

2. Quick Recap
Occurrence of Sedimentary Rocks

3. Quick Recap
Types of Sedimentary Rocks
1. mudrocks
2. sandstones
3. carbonate rocks

4. Quick Recap
Depositional Basins and PLate Tectonics
1. Divergent margins
2. Convergent margins
3. Intracratonic basins

5. Quick Recap
Why bother?

6. Let’s go
technical
● Eon vs Era vs Period vs Epoch vs Ages
● subduction zone
● Le Chatelier’s principle
● geothermal gradient
● turbidity currents
● trench
● epicontinental seas

7. What
time
is it?
HADEAN
CRATON

8. Subduction Zone
A subduction zone is the biggest crash scene
on Earth.
Where two tectonic plates meet at a
subduction zone, one bends and slides
underneath the other, curving down into
the mantle.

9. Le Chatelier’s Principle
any equilibrium that is subjected to
changing conditions of temperature,
concentration or pressure will react in a way
to minimize the change.

10. Geothermal gradient
rate of increasing temperature with respect
to increasing depth in the Earth's interior
25–30 °C/km

11. Turbidity Currents
rapid, downhill flow of water caused by
increased density due to high amounts of
sediment

12. Trench
Cratons whose ancient rocks are widely
exposed at the surface, often with relatively
subdued relief, are known as shields.

13. Epicontinental Seas
An inland sea is a shallow sea that covers
central areas of continents during periods
of high sea level that result in
marine transgressions
Seto Inland Sea

14. Craton
part of the Earth's
continental crust
which has been more
or less stable since
Precambrian times

15. Facies
body of rock with specified characteristics

16. Turbidity Currents
rapid, downhill flow of water caused by
increased density due to high amounts of
sediment

17. Geology
review
● Geologic Time
● Plate Tectonics
● Rock Cycle
● Water Cycle

18. Plate Tectonics
Theory:
Continental drift
Floating continents,
paleomagnetism, and
seismicity zones
Mid-oceanic ridge spreading
and convection
Magnetic striping

19. PLate Tectonics
Divergent Boundary
plates spread apart and a
mid-ocean ridge would form in
the middle

20. PLate Tectonics
Divergent Boundary
plates spread apart and
magma would rise up in
the middle

21. PLate Tectonics
Divergent Boundary
plates spread apart and
how new crust is formed
and the old crust is
pushed aside
