Vibrations caused by the rupture and sudden movement of rocks along a break or crack in Earth's crust.
What is an earthquake?
100
Two blocks of rock slide past each other horizontally in opposite directions?
Located at transform plate boundaries.
What is strike slip?
100
How many wave types did we just learn about?
What is 3?
100
You just lost 100 points!!!!!!! :)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
100
A vent in Earth's crust through which molten rock flows.
What is a volcano?
200
A graphical illustration of seismic waves
What is a seismogram?
200
tiny particles of pulverized volcanic rock and gas
What is volcanic ash?
200
This wave does not travel through liquids.
What is secondary waves?
200
energy that travels as vibrations on and in Earth
What is seismic wave?
200
A small steep-sided volcano that erupts gas-rich, basaltic lava
What is cinder cone?
300
A crack or a fracture in Earth's lithosphere along with one block of rock moves toward, away from, or past another.
What is a fault?
300
a location where volcanoes form far from plate boundaries
What is a hotspot?
300
Wave that travels through solids and liquids.
What is primary waves?
300
the location on Earth's surface directly above an Earthquake's focus.
What is epicenter?
300
A large volcano with gentle slopes of basaltic lavas, common along divergent plate boundaries and oceanic hotspots.
What is sheild volcano?
400
An instrument that measures and records ground motion and can be used to determine the distance seismic waves travel.
What is seismometer?
400
the rock and soil and enriched with valuable nutrients why?
What is positive results of volcanic eruptions
400
what slow down when they hit liquid outer core.
What happens to PRIMARY WAVES when they hit the liquid outer core?
400
scientist that studies earthquakes
What is seismologist?
400
A large steep-sided volcano that results from explosive eruptions of andestic and rhyolitic lavas along convergent plate boudaries.
What is composite volcano?
500
The highest hazard for an earthquake close to us
What is the boothill of Missouri?
500
this wave travels deepest into the center of Earth
primary wave
500
a type of seismic wave which cause particles in the ground to move in a push-pull motion similar to a coiled spring. These waves arrive first to a seismometer.
What is primary or p wave?
500
A location inside earth where seismic waves originate and rocks first move along a fault and from which seismic waves originate.
