What is a shield volcano?
100
When a volcano erupts, the molten material that flows onto Earth's surface is called this.
What is LAVA?
100
This forms when magma hardens in the volcano's pipe.

These are the fastest seismic waves.
What are P-waves?
200
This is how the plates move at divergent boundaries?
What is the plates move apart?
200
This is the volcano that is steep-sided, sometimes erupts violently, and is composed of alternating layers of lava and tephra.
What is a composite volcano?
200
Molten rock beneath the Earth's surface is called this.
What is MAGMA?
200
1. Magma that squeezes between layers of rock is this. 2. Magma that forces itself across rock layers and hardens is this.
What is 1. SILL 2. DIKE
300
This is caused by earthquake motion on the ocean floor.

Compare and contrast a composite volcano and a cinder cone volcano.
Compare-They are both formed at convergent boundaries, and both have tephra. Contrast-CINDER CONE-tephra only and has a small to moderate sized cone COMPOSITE-alternating layers of tephra and lava and has a steep cone
500
