Earthquakes/Waves
Amount of shaking
These volcanoes produce thin, runny lava and are generally short in height
Shield Volcanoes
This process transports particles of sediment from one location to another
Erosion
This determines global patterns of temperature and precipitation on planet Earth.
Latitude
The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of something by 1° C.
Specific Heat
This type of hypocenter is more destructive
Shallow
What ocean is the ring of fire located around?
This process weakens rock and earthy material but does not necessarily take it somewhere else
Weathering
This is the GHG that contributes the most to Ocean Acidification.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
This process replaces organic matter and turns it to stone
Petrification
The direction P-waves travel in
Back-and-forth or along the same direction the wave is travelling in
This is the place underneath immediately underneath a volcano that supplies molten rock and builds pressure
Magma Chamber
These are types of material commonly preserved through fossilization
Bones, shells, teeth, claws
Water has a high specific heat, this means it can absorb ______ energy
More
This type of break on a mineral can be straight-edged and uniform
Cleavage
This drives the movement of tectonic plates on the surface of the Earth (hint: what drives convection currents?)
Cinder cone volcanoes produce these projectiles when they erupt
The only type of rock that does not require heat to form
Sedimentary Rock
These three latitudes typically correspond with wet regions on Earth
0°, 60° N, 60° S
Solar Insolation
This is why P-waves have smaller shadow zones than S-waves
They can travel through more mediums, they're refracted and not blocked
This is the difference between a dormant and an extinct volcano
Time since last eruption
This causes foliated metamorphic rock
Uneven pressure during formation
The air on the leeward side of a mountain typically has these characteristics
This drives precipitation patterns
Air currents and wind
