Earthquakes
Volcanoes
100
This is the middle layer of the earth.
What is the mantle?
100
This is forming when water slows enough to fill an area
What is a lake?
100
This is caused when water freezes in cracks in cold weather
What is weathering?
100
This forms when there is a fault or crack in Earth's crust.
What is an earthquake?
100
This is a force that can rapidly change the Earth's landscape
What is volcanic eruption?
200
This is the hottest layer of all
What is the inner core?
200
This is made when a river slowly cuts through rock
What is a valley?
200
This carries away soil from hilly farm fields
What is rain?
200
The vibrations of an earthquake travel as this
What are waves?
200
This is formed when igneous rock from a volcanic eruption cools
What is new crust?
300
A peach skin similar to this
What is crust?
300
This is the outside layer of the Earth?
What is crust?
300
This causes a rockslide--the quick movement of rocks down a slope
What is gravity?
300
The damage an earthquake causes depends on this
What is distance from surface and how long the crust shakes?
300
DOUBLE TICKET JEOPARDY Hot, melted rock that pushes up toward Earth's surface
What is magma?
400
DOUBLE TICKET JEOPARDY This is when bits of rock can be picked up by wind, water, and glaciers
What is erosion?
400
mountains, hills, valleys, and beaches
What are landforms?
400
This is caused by sand particles that blow against rocks in dry regions.
What is erosion?
400
These are downhill movements of rocks and earth.
What is a landslide?
400
When a volcano erupts, melted rock is forced out
What is Lava?
500
A peach seed would be similar to this layer of the Earth
What is core?
500
A large moving body of ice that forms in cold places where snow and ice pile up year after year. It slowly moves downhill.
What is a glacier?
500
This is the force that causes tree roots to break through the crust
What is weathering?
500
DOUBLE TICKET JEOPARDY These are formed by undersea landslides
What are giant waves?
500
Magma forms deep within Earth's mantle and gathers here
What is magma chamber?
