This is a supercontinent where all Earth land was connected 200 million years ago
What is Pangaea
100
This is where 80% of all earthquakes are formed.
What is Ring of Fire
100
This is any structure that brings magma from below the surface, erupting lava onto the surface
What is Volcano
100
This is where rocks that form underground.
What is Intrusive
200
This runs vertically, measure east and west
What is Longitude
200
This is the Superocean surrounding Pangaea 200 million years ago
What is Panthalassa
200
This is when earthquakes that occur in the middle of plates and not at plate boundaries.
What is Intraplate earthquakes
200
This is where magma rises from below the Earth’s plates in a location that is extremely hot.
What is Hotspots
200
This is rocks that form above ground (Volcanic Eruptions)
What is Extrusive
300
This runs horizontally, measure north and south
What is Latitude
300
This is a geologist who became a navy sub commander in WW2. While commander he discovered mid-ocean ridges on the ocean floor. Later, took core samples of mid ocean ridges and discovered seafloor spreading
What is Harry Hess
300
This is the point on the surface of the Earth directly above the focus of the earthquake.
What is Epicenter
300
This is a very wide or broad volcanio, very runny (low-viscosity) lava, non-explosive due to low gas content
What is Shield Volcano
300
This is Intense Heat and Pressure Underground that Morphs a Rock
What is Process of forming metamorphic rock
400
This is a conclusion that doesn't have 100% proof but is accepted to be true.
What is Theory
400
This is where continents collide with continents and press together to form mountains.
What is Continental-Continental Convergant Boundries
400
This is movements or changes in elevation. Changes in the water table.
What is earthquake precursors
400
This is a tube where magma rises through a volcano.
What is Conduit
400
This is minerals that are compressed and flattened, so it looks like stripes
What is Foliated texture
500
This is the layers of the Earth from outermost to innermost
What is Crust, Mantle, Outer core, Inner core
500
This is a oceanic crust that subducts under the continental crust and forms trenches on the ocean floor and volcanoes on land.
What is Continental-Oceanic Convergent Boundries
500
As plates try to move past each other, they begin to bend as stress builds up. Eventually, the plates move past and the plates rebound back into shape causing an earthquake
What is Elastic Rebound Theory
500
This is where one plate moves under another causing magma to be produced and makes volcanoes.
What is Subduction
500
This is minerals that break apart in flat sheets or even shapes
