What is the liquid that was magma while in the volcano but will become lava when it is outside of the volcano. it will eventually end up turning into rock.
100
transform boundary
What is a fault which runs along the boundary of a tectonic plate. relative motion= horizontal in either sinistral or dextral?
100
Convergent Boundary
What is a major geologic discontinuity or structure marking the juncture of lithospheric plates that have been joined by plate tectonics?
200
outer core
What is the liquid layer made of iron and nickel above the inner core and blow the mantle?
200
Hot Spot
What is a part of the surface that is far from tectonic plate boundaries and experiences volcanism due to rising mantle pume?
200
Subduction
What is a geological process- one edge of a crustal plate is forced sideways and downward into the mantle- below another plate?
200
Magma
What is the liquid inside the volcano before it erupts which once outside the volcano becomes lava and eventually becomes rock?
300
Pangaea
What is a hypothetical continent- landmass of the earth before the Triassic Period- when split into Laurasia and Gondwanaland
300
inner core
What is the innermost, hottest layer of the earth- probably solid- mad of iron and nickel. temperature close to the sun's surface?
300
Seismic Waves
What is a force traveling through earth causing earthquakes (main cause)?
300
Earthquake
What is the shaking and vibration on the earth's surface from underground movement along a fault plane from volcanic activity?
400
Plate Boundary
What is the edge between adjacent plates- classified by convergent, divergent, and transform?
400
fault
What is a crack in the crust due to displacement of one side with respect to the other?
400
Ring of Fire
What is an area where large #'s of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the pacific ocean?
400
divergent boundary
What is in plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary is a linear feature that exists between 2 tectonic plates that are moving away from each other?
500
Plate Tectonics
What is a scientific theory describes large scale motions of earth's lithospere?
500
Volcano
What is an opening in the earth's surface/crust- magma inside volcano and lava outside- turns to rock when lava- named after Vulcan- the roman god of fire?
500
Convection Current
What is the transfer of neat by the mass movement of heated particles is an area of cooler fluid?
500
Crust
What is the outer layer of the earth, about 22 miles deep under the oceans?
500
Density
What is the state or quality of being dense; compactness; closely set or crowded condition?
