Bingo Square #1
What type of fault is shown here?
A reverse fault.

Bingo Square #17
Explain how seismic waves helped scientists learn about the Earth's interior.
P-Waves are able to travel through the crust, mantle, liquid outer core, and the solid inner core.
S-waves can travel through the crust and mantle, but when they hit the liquid outer core, the s-waves stop. This gave scientists information that the Earth's interior must be made of different materials with different densities.

Bingo Square #20
what is the focus?
The point inside the earth where an earthquake begins
100
Bingo Square #22
what is a seismograph?
An instrument that measures and records earthquake waves
100
Bingo Suare #19
describe where the epicenter is located
The point on earth’s surface directly above the focus
200
Bingo Square 3. A scale used to measure an earthquake’s intensity based on eyewitness observations and the resulting damage. For example, dishes rattling or chimneys falling.
what is the Mercalli scale?
200
Bingo Square Free Space
Describe s-waves.
second fastest seismic wave, move only through solids
200
Bingo Square #18
what are p waves?
fastest type of seismic wave, move through solids, liquids, and gasses
200
Bingo Square #24
what are surface waves?
Seismic waves that travel only across the earth’s surface. These seismic waves are slowest and the most destructive.
200
Bingo Square #21 what is lava?
Magma that has reached earth’s surface
300
Bingo Square #5 Melted rock beneath earth’s surface
what is magma?
300
Bingo Square #15 Describe an active volcano.
A volcano that has erupted recently or will erupt soon
300
Bingo Square #12
what is a subduction zone?
A place where one tectonic plate is pushed under another tectonic plate
300
Bingo Square #16
what is a hot spot?
Places on earth’s surface that are directly above a column of rising magma
300
Bingo Square #23
what is a dormant volcano?
A volcano that has not erupted for a long time but may erupt again- it is "sleeping".
400
Bingo Square #7 What is an extinct volcano?
A volcano that can no longer erupt
400
Bingo Square #13
What type of fault is shown here?
This is a strike-slip fault.
400
Bingo Square #10
what are the two ways that volcanoes form?
hot spots & plate boundaries
400
Bingo Square #14
Magma that is low in gases will form a volcano that
erupts gently/non-violently
400
Bingo Square #2
Deep earthquakes often occur along this type of plate boundary.
Convergent plate boundaries where there is subduction.
500
Bingo Square #9 What are the 3 different types of volcanoes?
shield, cinder cone, and composite
500
Bingo Square #11 What is the Ring of Fire?
The rim of the Pacific Ocean, around which many violent volcanoes erupt
500
Bingo Square #6
what is a shield volcano?
volcano built almost entirely of lava
non-violent eruptions
low volcano that is very wide
500
Bingo Square #8
what is a cinder cone volcano?
volcano built from ash and cinders.
not as large as a composite, but has steep sides
500
Bingo Square #4
what is a composite volcano?
volcano built from alternating layers of lava, ash, and cinders
It is large and wide.
