Quote Science of Today• During his Zurich stay the woman doctor, Paulette Brubacher,
asked the whereabouts of his [Einstein's] laboratory. With a smile he took a fountain pen out of his breast pocket and said: 'here'. ~Albert Einstein~
• I chose this most brief quote by Albert Einstein because it reminds me that the time to create is always HERE & NOW! I think it is important to log down any insight or idea no matter how slight it may seem. Even the smallest sliver of information can make all the difference when you put all the pieces together.

Old view of formation of Rocks• 17th Century • Catastrophism.- is the theory that the Earth has
been affected in the past by sudden, short-lived, violent events
Early Thoughts on the Origin Of Rocks• Neptunism .- Rocks were created from water
having crystallized from earth’s First Oceans• Plutonism.- All rocks originated from Volcanoes pressure
and heat into Other Rocks

Principle of Faunal (fossil) Succession

Index Fossils Def.: accurately indicate the ages of sedimentary rocks
1) Abundantly preserved in rocks2) Geographically widespread3) Fast evolving - existed for a relatively short time4) Easily identified

UNIFORMITARIANISM
• UNIFORMI…… What ?• “The Present is the Key to the Past “• Rate and intensity of past process were they
same as those observed today.
• This principle is still the foundation of geologic science
![Page 16: Chapter 4](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164fd550346895dd76a96/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
UNIFORMITARIANISMCurrent understanding of Uniformitarianism in
geology is no longer makes this assumption
Rates and intensity of process ( Different conditions on earth trough time)Catastrophes do play a role ( Chicxulub, Massive volcanic Flows)
![Page 17: Chapter 4](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164fd550346895dd76a96/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
UNCONFORMITIES Breaks in the rock record. (time missing in the Geologic record)
a) Angular Unconformities.- When Rocks are tilted at angle by uplifting, faulting or folding
b) Disconformity .- Is difficult to see because both layers are sedimentary rocks and both are still horizontal but they are separated by the surface that got eroded.
c)Nonconformity .- Is abreak in time between a metamorphic or
intrusive igneous rock and layers of Sedimentary rocks created above it.

Science Quote
"Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over that same entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith'"Max Planck • Anacany Ramirez
![Page 24: Chapter 4](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164fd550346895dd76a96/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Review Stratigraphy
Conformable Principles • Principle of Original Horizontality• Principle of Superposition• Principle of Lateral Continuity• Principle of Cross-Cutting
Relationship• Principle of Inclusions• Principle of Fossil Succession
Unconformitiesa) Angular Unconformities.-b) Disconformity .- c)Nonconformity
Time missing from the rock layers. Breaks in the rock record
Assumption that the rocks you examine have undisturbed and complete record
![Page 25: Chapter 4](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164fd550346895dd76a96/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Relative Dating: Correlation
![Page 26: Chapter 4](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164fd550346895dd76a96/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
How old is that rock?
Relative age: order of events
Absolute age: age in years
Relative dating tells us what order things happened, but not how many years ago they happened.
![Page 27: Chapter 4](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164fd550346895dd76a96/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Absolute Dating: Radioactive Decay
![Page 28: Chapter 4](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164fd550346895dd76a96/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Half Life
• 1 gram of K-40 (Potassium 40 ) • (Half Life 1.3 Billion Years) • .50 gram • Half Life 1.3 Billion Years)• .25

Another Half-life Example• You start with $1000 in your bank account• Every week your spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend
removes half of the money• The half-life of your account = 1 week
1 week

Isotopes & Half Lives
Young things
Old things

Radiometric DatingIs the process of determining the absolute age of rocks, minerals and fossils by measuring the relative amounts of parent and daughter isotopes
![Page 33: Chapter 4](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164fd550346895dd76a96/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Calculating Absolute Age• Potassium-40 included in mineral (start clock)• Begins decaying to Argon-40• Brilliant scientists have told us the half-life of K-Ar is 1.3 billion yrs (Gyr)• We count # parents & daughters in sample• We find that our sample contains 50% K & 50% Ar• So 1/2 of our initial sample (K) has decayed• How old is it?
• We find another sample that is 25% K & 75% Ar• How old is it?

“I don’t drink water, because if water can erode rock, think what it can do to flesh.” ― Jarod Kintz,
Amanda Barraza

Earth Rocks, Earth History, and Mass Extinctions
• The fossil record suggest that sudden, catastrophic events, abruptly decimated Life on earth.
• But, New life forms emerged following mass extinctions
![Page 39: Chapter 4](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164fd550346895dd76a96/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Mass Extinctions
![Page 40: Chapter 4](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164fd550346895dd76a96/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Hypothesis for mass extinctions
• Extraterrestrial Impacts • Volcanic Eruptions • Supercontinents
EXAMPLE:Permian Extinction: 90 % of all species in oceans died
70% of reptiles and amphibians 30% of all insects
Systems interactions among Biosphere, Geosphere, Atmosphere. Hydrosphere

Astronomical Impacts 1. LARGE OBJECT HITS EARTH.- the impact sends large amounts of rock and
other debris in to Atmosphere and it starts fires, which add some and ash to the Atmosphere
2.- The Atmosphere is polluted. Particles of ash and rock in the atmosphere do 3 Things :• Block sun light • Block sun warmth, leading to global cooling• Create conditions for acid rain.Also This darkened atmosphere may also be very difficult to breath in
3. Plant Life gets affected. The combination of acid rain, cooler temperatures, and the absence of sunlight SHUTS DOWN the process of Photosynthesis. Brings Plant Life TO A HALT
4.- Hervibores are affected next. Without plants no food.
5 The Entire ecosystem collapses

Mass Extinctions: Volcanic EruptionsThe Siberian trap basalts formed 250 million years ago at the Permian/Triassic boundary with a volume of 2.5 million cubic kilometers

Example Eruptions:
Global distribution of large igneous provinces in the oceans (submarine plateaus) and on land (flood basalts)
