Deformation of the Earth’s Crust
Mr. Silva

Objective
• Students will be able to describe isostatic adjustment by using an analogy of comparing cargo ships to mountain ranges.
• Students will be able to identify three stresses acting on the Earth’s crust and correlate at which boundary each stress occurs.

What do you think of when you hear…the Himalayans, the Rockies, the Andes, the Sierra Nevada?
These imposing landforms are visible reminders that the shape of the earth’s surface is always changing.

How the Crust is Deformed
• Deformation of the crust is the bending, tilting, and braking of the earth’s crust.
• Plate tectonics is the movement of the earth crust, but it’s not the only force that shapes the earth’s crust

Isostatic Adjustment
• Isostatic adjustment occurs in the earth’s crust because of the change in the weight in some parts of the crust.

Isostatic Adjustment
• When crusts are thicker and heavier they move deeper into the mantle.

Isostatic Adjustment
• When crusts are thinner and lighter, it will rise higher on of the mantle.

Isostatic Adjustment
• Take a second and think of a CARGO SHIP.

Isostatic Adjustment
• This up-and-down movement in the crust occurs because of two opposing forces
• The crust is always trying to reach a balance.
• That balance is known as isostatic!
ISOSTATIC = BALANCEISOSTATIC = BALANCE

Common Locations
• Isostatic adjustments are constantly occurring near:
–Mountain ranges –Active volcanoes–Around glacier formations

Stress on the Crust
• Plate movement causes STRESS on the earth’s surface, or outermost crust.
• What is STRESS?

Stress on the Crust
• The crust becomes stressed when plates collide, separate or rub up on each other.

Quick Review
• At what plate boundary do plates collide?
• At what plate boundary to plates separate?
• At what plate boundary to plates rub?

Convergent Plate Boundaries
Divergent Plate Boundaries
Transform Faults

3 Types of Stresses
• Compression: occurs when crustal rocks are squeezed together.
–Often times reduces volume of rock
–Will push rock higher up or deeper down into the crust

3 Types of Stresses
• Tension: is the force that pulls the rocks apart.
–Tend to become thinner.

3 Types of Stresses
• Shearing: pushes rocks in the opposite horizontal direction.
–Rocks can bend, twist, or break apart as they slide past each other.
