3 Midterm #2 Info Midterm info: Midterm exam on Thursday, October 29th 50 multiple choice/true-false questions Covers material from Lectures page cheat sheet allowed (double-sided ok) Things to help you study: 1. Lecture notes 2. Midterm practice exam (posted on web) 3. Homework 4. Assigned reading
4 How is time represented in this scene?
5 Relative Dating: Correlation of Rocks Matching rocks of the same age from different locations Major volcanic eruptions Meteorite impacts
6 What is the geologic history of this cross-section of crust?
7 Relative Dating Determines the Order of Geologic Events
8 Relative Age Dating
9 Relative Age Dating
10 iclicker Question In this figure which layer is oldest?: A B C A D C B D
11 iclicker Question In this figure which layer is youngest?: A B C A D C B D Go to Visualization
12 How old is that rock? Relative age: order of events Relative dating tells us what order things happened, but not how many years ago they happened. Absolute age: age in years
13 Oldest mineral ~4.4 bya
14 Most meteorites formed ~4.4 - ~4.7 bya.
15 Moon rocks formed ~4.3 - ~4.6 bya.
16 Absolute Dating: Radioactive Decay Radioactive atoms used as clocks Radioactive decay: atomic nuclei spontaneously break apart (unstable) Ex.: Potassium-40 Argon-40 Calcium-40 How long to decompose?
17 Radioactive Half-Life Def.: time it takes for 1/2 of radioactive atoms in a sample to decay Parent decays to daughter (potassium-40) Potassium-40 half-life = 1.3 billion years (argon-40)
18 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
19 Your Bank Account (1 half-life) Start: $1000 Week 1: $500 Week 2: $250 Week 3: $125 Week 4: $62.50 Week 5: $31.25 Week 6: $15.63 Week 7: $7.81 Week 8: $3.90 Week 9: $1.95 Week 10: $0.98 Week 11: $0.49 Week 12: $0.24 Week 13: $0.12 Week 14: $0.06 Week 15: $0.03 Week: 16: $0.015 left in your bank account
20 Half-Life
21 Radio Carbon Dating
22 CARBON
23 Isotopes & Half Lives Young things Old things
24 Radiometric Dating Def.: determining the absolute age of a rock by measuring the # parent vs. # daughter isotopes
25 Radioactive Decay Curve As time goes on, less parent & more daughter
26 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?! A. 650 million years B. 1.3 billion years C. 50 years!
27 Radioactive Decay Curve

29 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?! A. 650 million years B. 1.3 billion years C. 2.6 billion years!

41 ! Mass Extinctions:! Extraterrestrial Impacts! Meteoric impact - explosion! Thick cloud of dust, blocks sunlight! Ocean?! Fig. 4-2, p.75
42 Mass Extinctions:! Volcanic Eruptions! Eruptions of gas & volcanic ash - contaminate atmosphere! SO 2 reflects sunlight = cooling! CO 2 blocks radiated energy = warming! Fig. 4-2, p.75
43 Example Eruptions:! Historic regular big eruptions:! up to 50,000 fatalities! Siberian Traps :! 250 Ma, massive! eruption: almost! area USA! Fig. 4-2, p.75
44 Mass Extinctions:! Atmosphere-Ocean-Continent Interactions! Ocean-Atmosphere: Ocean currents mix heat & gases! from oceans to atm.! Ocean-Continent: Ocean currents partly controlled by!!! positions of continents! Fig. 4-2, p.75
45 Evolution of Earth Atmosphere! Initially: thick atmosphere of CO 2 & H 2 O! H 2 O condense to oceans! CO 2 dissolved in oceans: carbonate rocks, little for atm.! Additional O 2 from photosynthesis! Today: N 2, O 2! Oxygen! All Others! Nitrogen!
46 Mass Extinctions:! Atmosphere-Ocean Interaction (1)! CO 2 transferred from atmosphere to ocean! Atmosphere cools! Fig. 4-2, p.75
47 Mass Extinctions:! Atmosphere-Ocean Interaction (2)! Cooling water sinks: stirs up deep ocean! CO 2 sent back to surface, kills organisms!
48 Mass Extinctions:! Atmosphere-Ocean-Continent Interactions! Ocean-Atmosphere: Ocean currents mix heat & gases! from oceans to atm.! Ocean-Continent: Ocean currents partly controlled by!!! positions of continents! Fig. 4-2, p.75
49 Mass Extinctions:! Ocean-Continent Interaction! Supercontinent Pangea! Single land mass prevented mixing of ocean!
50 Mass Extinctions Influence the Evolution of Life.
