100
This volcano, has very shallow slopes and a calm eruption type. These volcanoes occur near rift zones and divergent. fault lines. Some are at hot-spots that are random heat spots throughout the world. Hawaii was born to a hot-spot.
What is a Shield Volcano.
100
Underwater earthquakes and landslides sometimes cause huge ocean waves called this.
What is Tsunamis.
100
This type of fold folds up in an "A" shape. The oldest rock can be found in the middle while the youngest rock can be found on top.
What is an Anticline.
100
This boundary is where two tectonic plates move towards each other until they collide.
What is Convergent Boundary.
100
Is defined as the ability of a substance to resist flow. In magma, the levels of this are affected by its temperature, gas content, and silica content.
What is Viscosity.
200
These are the smallest volcano types with a conical shape. They are explosive but the rock/lava type cools before it hits the surface, which gives it that ant mound look.
What is Cinder Cone Volcano.
200
an instrument that measures and records details of earthquakes, such as force and duration.
What is a Seismograph.
200
This type of fold folds down in an "U" shape. The oldest rock can be found on the bottom while the youngest rock can be found in the middle of the fold.
What is a Syncline.
200
Convergent boundaries produce these two types of landforms.
What is Mountains and Volcanoes.
200
is an area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. In a 40,000 km (25,000 mi) horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements.
What is the Ring of Fire.
300
is a tall, conical volcano composed of one layer of hardened lava and volcanic ash. These volcanoes are characterized by a steep profile and periodic, explosive eruptions. The lava that flows from them is highly viscous, and cools and hardens before spreading very far.
What is a Stratovolcano.
300
the point on the earth's surface vertically above the focus of an earthquake. You can triangulate seismographic data to locate this.
What is Epicenter.
300
This type of fault has two landmasses moving away from each other with the footwall going down while the hangingwall moves up.
What is a Normal Fault.
300
This boundary is where two tectonic plates slide past each other. They also produce earthquakes.
What is Transform Boundary.
300
basaltic lava forming smooth undulating or ropy masses.
What is Pahoehoe Lava.
400
This eruption is the most powerful eruption. It involves the explosive ejection of relatively viscous lava. They are related to stratovolcanoes.
What is Plinian Eruptions.
400
is a base-10 logarithmic scale, which defines magnitude of an earthquake.
What is Richter Scale.
400
This type of fault is where two landmasses slip past each other. Much like a transform boundary.
What is Strike-Slip.
400
New crust forms at this type of plate boundary.
What is Divergent Boundary.
400
basaltic lava forming very rough jagged masses with a light frothy texture.
What is aa Lava.
500
This eruption produces huge clots of molten lava that burst from the summit crater to form luminous arcs through the sky. Collecting on the flanks of the cone, lava clots combined to stream down the slopes in fiery rivulets. They are associated with Cinder Cone Volcanoes.
What is Strombolian Eruptions.
500
What is the smartest safety precaution to follow when in a building during an earthquake?
What is hiding under heavy furniture.
500
This type of fault has two landmasses moving towards each other with the footwall going over the hangingwall.
What is a Reverse Fault
500
This process causes hot material to rise and cold material to sink. This is the primary force that drives plate tectonic movement.
What is Convection.
500
Because it is located in the lower mantle, this weak shell of the Earth is hot and lighter than is harder and denser counterpart (the lithosphere).
What is the Asthenosphere.
