Chapters 1
A tentative model such as plate tectonics that is used to explain data and scientific concepts.
What is a theory?
Lines indicating road types, symbols for building or parks, and colors for different types of geographical features would all be found here.
What is a map legend?
The combination of the upper mantle and the crust that moves with tectonic plate movement.
What is the lithosphere?
Molten material deep under the ground.
What is magma?
This belt is the name of the area of volcanos also named "The Ring of Fire."
What is the Circum-Pacific Belt?
What is a hypothesis?
1:24,000 is an example of a common one of these.
What is the map scale?
The magnetic field of the earth is related to this feature of the layers of the earth.
What is the iron in the core?
The name of the crack in a rock that form under stress.
What are joints?
This is melted snow that causes a mudslide.
What is a lahar?
A physical, verbal, or mathematical structure that attempts to explain, describe, or represent an aspect of the world in a workable and useful way.
What is a model?
Topographic, contour, political, thematic are examples of this type of model.
What is a map?
This is the type of geology whose key aspects include identifying rocks, drawing maps, or studying seismic activity.
What is operational geology?
Great compression and shear forces build up along this type of boundaries.
What are convergent boundaries?
A crack in the earth where lava and gaseous emissions may escape.
What is a vent?
25 ml, 18 grams, and 32 km/s are examples of this.
What is data?
The names of the two types of lines dividing sections of the earth into N-S sections and lines dividing sections into E-W are known as this.
What are lines of latitude and longitude?
The layer of the earth makes up 84% of the earth's volume and is made of molten materials.
What is the mantle?
Special instruments that detect earthquake waves.
What is a seismometer?
One of the ways to classify a volcano.
What is by structure?
(also accept activity or explosivity)
Learning about volcanos to help predict them and protect people from harm is a way to honor the Lord and follow this directive.
What is the Creation Mandate?
These are lines that show differences in elevation of an area.
What are contour lines?
Oil, gas, and certain minerals represent this kind of resource.
What are nonrenewable resources?
Another geological formation often associated with earthquake activity.
What is a volcano?
This is the type of volcanism where the volcanic materials are deposited outside the volcano.
What is extrusive volcanism?
