This forms as a result of plate movement, or even from the lava breaking through the crust of the Earth
Volcanoes
Earth is made of these
Tectonic Plates
Slow plate movement causes these mountainous geysers of lava
Volcanoes
The two types of volcanoes we studied this unit
Shield and Composite
Earth's plates typically move very fast. True or false?
False
Slow plate movement causes these shifts in tectonic plates that often level cities
Earthquakes
Made of basaltic lava and an example is Mauna Loa in Hawaii
Shield Volcanoes
Plate movement where plates go away from each other
Divergent
The outputting of a mountain range caused by slow plate motion is also called
Orogenic Uplift
Lava flows for a short time causing steep sides of these types of volcanoes
Composite Volcanoes
Plate movement where plates come towards each other with one plate going on top of the other plate
Convergent
What is the same of the supercontinent that used to exist but was broken into pieces due to continental drift?
Pangea or Pangaea
Shield volcanoes usually form at these plate boundaries
Divergent Plate Boundaries
Plate movement where plates slide next to each other
Transformative
An earthquake accidentally skipped a volcano in line. The earthquake said 'sorry', but the volcano smiled saying,
"It's okay earthquake, it's not your...
Fault...line
The Ring of what is the name of this location in the Pacific, named due to the number of volcanoes that exist there
The Ring of Fire
