Plate Tectonics and Stress
Volcanoes and Magma
Seismic Activity
100
This type of boundary occurs on strike-slip faults
What is a transform boundary?
100
This is a break in the Earth's crust where blocks of lithosphere move around due to tectonic forces
What is a fault?
100
This theory says that Earth's crust is divided
What is plate tectonics?
100
This forms when magma is forced to the Earth's surface
What is a volcano?
100
This instrument measures and records seismic waves
What is a seismograph?
200
This type of boundary could create a subduction zone
What is a convergent boundary?
200
Tension creates this type of fault
What is a normal fault?
200
Force per unit area
What is stress?
200
Hot spots are on the Earth's surface above these
What are mantle plumes?
200
This is a recording of seismic activity
What is a seismogram?
300
Convergent boundaries between two pieces of continental crust creates these
What are mountains/volcanoes?
300
Compression creates this type of fault
What is a reverse fault?
300
This is when compression in the Earth's crust causes layers to bend
What is folding?
300
This type of volcano forms from moderately explosive eruptions
What is a cinder cone volcano
300
These seismic waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases
What are P Waves?
400
This process occurs at a divergent boundary between two oceanic plates
What is sea-floor spreading?
400
This type of fault creates transform boundaries
What is a strike-slip fault?
400
These are two types of stress
What is compression and tension?
400
Volcanoes usually form on this type of boundary
What is a convergent boundary?
400
These waves cannot travel through completely liquid materials
What are S Waves?
500
A divergent boundary between oceanic plates could create this.
What is a mid-ocean ridge?
500
This type of fault starts a convergent boundary
What is a reverse fault?
500
These are the hills and dips created when compression folds the crust
What are anticlines and synclines?
500
When magma rises and erupts from a volcano, this is what it becomes
What is lava?
500
This is the 3rd name for S waves and secondary waves?
What are shear waves?
