Density
the formula for Density
D=m/v
These waves are also known as primary or pressure waves.
What is P Waves?
This is the amount of years of our Earth.
What is 4.5 billion years?
This layer includes the crust and upper mantle. It is broken into plates that move on on top of the asthenosphere.
What is the Lithosphere
When something is more dense it does what?
What is Sink
These waves only travel through solids and cannot travel through liquids.
What waves are received when an Earthquake occurs?
Seismic Waves
When substances are put together and they have different densities, they make this.
What is layers.
When water rises after an object has been submerged, the volume of the risen water represents how much water has been what?
What is Displacement
These are the first waves of an earthquake to be detected and are the fastest type of seismic waves.
This is a break in the Earth's crust along which blocks of rock slide relative to one another.
What is Faulting?
List the SIX layers of the Earth from the top to the middle. In that order
The most dense layer of Earth is?
What is the inner core.
These are the slowest waves, but they do the most damage and destruction; often associated with earthquakes.
What layers within the Mantle has convection currents?
What is the Asthenosphere.
90 percent of Volcanoes, Earthquakes, and Tsunamis occur around this location.
What is the Ring of Fire.
The amount of particles that make up an object is?
What is Mass
When locating an earthquake, this is the point on the Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's starting point.
Bonus: This is the point inside the Earth where an earthquake begins. +100
What is the epicenter?
Bonus: What is the focus point?
This layer of the mantle is very rocky and solid and is the upper layer (closest to the crust).
When hot material rises and cool materials sink, they make this.
What is a Convection Current.
When two plates move toward each other and one plate sinks underneath the other. This process is called what?
What is subduction
