Interior/Sea-Floor Spreading
These are vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake.
What is a seismic wave?
This is a plate boundary where two plates move AWAY from each other.
What is a divergent boundary?
This is the point beneath the Earth's surface where rock first breaks under stress and causes an earthquake.
What is the focus?
This is the molten rock beneath the surface of the Earth.
What is magma?
A rooster laid a brown egg and a white egg, this is the kind of chicks that would hatch.
None. Roosters don't lay eggs. lol
This is the layer that form's Earth's solid outer surface.
What is the crust?
This is a plate boundary where two plates move TOWARD each other.
What is a convergent boundary?
This is the point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus.
What is the epicenter?
When magma reaches the surface of a volcano, it becomes this.
What is lava?
This is what I will be doing over the summer break!
Sleeping, reading, eating, gaming, vacationing, camping, swimming, etc.
This is the longest mountain range on the planet. It also is ALMOST completely submerged under water. Hint: new oceanic crust is formed here and is located at a divergent boundary.
What is the mid-ocean ridge or the mid-Atlantic ridge?
This is the type of plate at the San Andreas fault.
What is a transform fault or strike-slip boundary?
This is a scale that rates earthquakes by estimating the total energy released by an earthquake.
What is the moment magnitude scale?
This is a string of volcanoes that form as a result of subduction of one oceanic plate beneath another plate.
What is an island arc?
This is the day I won't be here during the last week of school. I will be taking a course all day.

These are the three main layers of Earth.
What are the crust, mantle and core?
Moving tectonic plates produce these three types of boundaries.
What is divergent, convergent or transform (strike-slip) boundaries?
This instrument locates the epicenter of an earthquake.
What is a seismograph?
The Hawaiian Islands formed over this structure in Earth.
What is a hot spot?
This is the last day of school! WooHoo!!!!

This is one place on Earth that subduction occurs.
What are deep ocean trenches?
This is most closely related to a divergent boundary. You can see one at the mid-ocean ridge in the Atlantic Ocean.
What is a rift valley?
These waves travel through the Earth, not the oceans.
What are P waves and S waves?
This is the part of the mantle that is made of soft rock and bends like a metal spoon.
What is the asthenosphere?
This is the name my Mother-in-Law sees on her phone id when I call her.
