FOLD = deformation in rocks created by stresses which produce bends or curves

Types of folds

According to thedirection of curvature

Anticline

Syncline

According to theangle of theaxial plane

Symmetrical

Inclined

Overturned(tumbado)

Recumbent(acostado)

Overturned fold

Recumbent fold

After erosion happens in an anticline fold the oldest layers appear in the middle

In a syncline fold the most modern layers appear in the middle

Rocks are always formed form pre-existing rocks that undergo processes of transformation

Types of rocks

Exogenous rocks(external

processes)sedimentary

Endogenous rocks

(internalprocesses)

igneous

metamorphic

caused by solar energy

Weathering rocks break up due to the action of the atmosphere water living thingshellip

Mechanical weathering Chemical weathering Weathering caused byliving beings

Erosion loosened pieces of rock start moving

Transportation eroded material is transported

Sedimentation deposition of materials

Diagenesis sediments are transformed into sedimentary rocks

caused by heat and pressure inside the Earth

GEOTHERMAL GRADIENT = the internal temperature of the Earth increases with dephtabout 30ordmC every kilometre

It causes

Volcanoes

Geysers

Thermalsprings

Santa Ana Volcano El Salvador

Geyser in Iceland

Meltingmechanisms

Rise in temperature

produced by

Friction

Radioactivesubstances

Contactwith heat

Drop in pressurewhich produces a decrease in themelting point

Presence of liquids

Types of magma

From deepmantle (Mg + Fe)

Mid-oceanridges

Rifts

Hot spots

From moltencrust (Si + Al +

OROGEN = Mountain range also called ldquocordillerardquo

Andean type orogen

An accretionary prism is formed

Accumulated marine sediment on the edge of a continental platethat has been scraped off a subducting oceanic plate

Alps Himalayas Pyrenees

The process of formation is faster thanthe Andean type

The deformation and metamorphism of rocksis greater

Rocky Mountains

Fragments of rocks from the lithosphere are added to the appearing mountain

OROGENY = Geological period in the past when the crust was deformed and foldedtherefore mountain ranges appeared

There has been three important orogenies in the past

1 Caledonian Orogeny 2 HercynianOrogeny

3 Alpine Orogeny

ISOSTASY is the state of equilibrium between the lithosphere and the mantle

If the weight of the lithosphere

increasesIt sinks

If the weight of the lithosphere

decreasesIt rises

What happens whenhellip

hellip a thick layer of sediment is deposited

hellip a thick covering of ice is formed

hellip a mountain range is eroded

hellip the ice of an ice cup melts

The lithosphere sinks The lithosphere rises

The lithosphere sinks The lithosphere rises
