I can't let you go to Las Vegas for the weekend. If you go to Las Vegas, you'll end up playing blackjack and losing all of your money. Then you'll be stuck there with no money, living on the streets and panhandling just to get enough money to buy food. You don't want that to happen. Above Passage commits a fallacy ; specially, it commit a false cause fallacy.

The passage commits a fallacy and specifically commits a false cause fallacy

Explanation:

A fallacy is a sort of faulty reasoning that makes a faulty argument. A fallacy usually denoted an error in logical form of an argument, it could also be formal or informal.

A fallacy of false cause is a kind of fallacy that makes a wrong conclusion from a premise that is usually arbitrary or imaginary. Example, how can the speaker above be so sure that the individual going to Las Vegas would end up exactly the way he had said it.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
