Earth and Life Science

Chapter 4
Chapter 3  Earthquake- minimal to rapid shaking of the ground
 Alfred Wegener- Continental Drift Theory HAZARD:
(that Earth’s Continents have moved over geologic time -surface rupture
relative to each other) -liquefaction
 Pangaea- supercontinent, giant land mass -fires
 Panthalasa- super ocean -tsunami
 2 first continent- Laurasia and Gondwanaland -landslide
 7 continents- Asia, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Europe,
South and North America  Volcanic Eruption-
 Harry Hess- Seafloor Spreading -explosive type eruption
(showed that the ocean floor is split along the ridge where -non explosive type eruption
the magma rises to form the new ocean floor) Ring of Fire- Area surrounded by an active volcanoes

 Plate boundaries  Hydro..

1.Convergent Boundary- move towards each other -Monsoons- regional wind system
(Destructive margin/boundary) (sea breeze and land breeze; amihan and habagat)
-has oceanic-oceanic , continental- continental and -Cyclones- wind system that circulating around a low-
oceanic – continental convergence pressure
-trenches -Tropical Cyclones- cyclones that formed over a warm
2.Divergent Boundary- move away from each other oceans
(constructive margin/boundary) -Typhoons- cyclones that form over the Pacific or Indian
3.Transform Fault Boundary- move past one another Ocean
(conservative plate margin) -Hurricanes- cyclones that form over the Atlantic ocean
-thunderstorm- characterized by heavy rains, strong
 Rift Valley- deepest part of the oceans, narrow depression
winds , lightning and thunder
 Subduction- descending of denser lithosphere HAZARD:
 Convection- transfer of thermal energy -Storm surge
-wind damage
Geologic Time Scale- eons, eras, periods, and epochs -flood
 Eons- longest amount of time ( and then followed by
eras)
 Eras-
1.Paleozoic Era – Era of old life
Divided in seven period: Mga bata…
*Period of Cambrian and Ordovician Review the Preliminary Examination also ha!
-age of invertebrates Ex. Trilobites and cephalopods Goodluck and God bless nak!!!
*Period of Silurian and Devonian
-age of fishes
*Period Devonian, Mississipian, Pennsylvanian (or
Carboniferous period)
-earth has the highest concentration of atmospheric
oxygen
-large coal swamps
-dominant in amphibians species
*Permian
MOSTLY:
-animals are amphibians and reptiles
-plants are conifers
-Pangaea

2.Mesozoic Reptiles- Age of Reptiles

-Dominant organisms- reptiles
-extinction of the huge land dinosaurs
-turtles, snakes , crocodiles and lizards survived in
this era
-break up of pangaea and formation of modern
ocean

3.Cenozoic Era: Recent life

-age of mammals
-Modern world came to existence
-humans evolved
