This is a piece of equipment that test different materials and building to see how much damage will occur to it during an earthquake.
What is a shake table?
200
This is the area that is at the mouth of a river.
What is a delta?
200
The process of moving sediment by wind, moving water, or ice.
What is erosion?
200
The plates are located on this layer of the Earth.
What is the crust?
200
This is molten rock that is beneath earth's surface.
What is magma?
200
A sudden shaking of Earth's surface caused by movement from a release of energy in the Earth's crust.
What is an earthquake?
300
This is a mountain that is formed as molten rock flows beneath Earth's surface.
What is a volcano?
300
This landform is caused by gravity that can make soil, mud and rocks move quickly down a slope.
What is landslide?
300
This is the center most layer of the Earth.
What is the inner core?
300
A seismography can not tell this.
What is when an earthquake will occur?
300
These are things that destroy or hurt Earth's surface. Earthquakes destroy and knock down buildings. Floods damage houses and towns. Wind blows sand into the beaches.
What are destructive processes?
400
This type of landform provides a barrier that helps protect the mainland from wave erosion.
What are barrier islands?
400
The process of which sediment drops out of water and settles in a new location.
What is deposition?
400
Name three ways that plates can move.
What is moving toward each other, away from each other, and alongside each other.
400
This is the point on Earth's surface that is directly above the focus of an earthquake.
What is the epicenter?
400
These are things that help to build up and help Earth. Ex. Floods help plants by providing nutrients to the soil. Volcanos build mounds of molten rock. Wind blows sand to form sand dunes.
What are constructive processes?
500
This type of landform is made when earth's plates push together.
What are mountains?
500
Four things that help control erosion.
What are jetties, dams, leeves and plants?
500
Name the four layers of the earth from the coolest layer to the hottest layer.
What is the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core?
500
The equipment that is use to study earthquakes.
What is a Seismograph?
500
Three things that a seismography can tell.
What are movements in the Earth's Crust, the strength of an earthquake, when an earthquake occurred, and where the epicenter is located?
