100
Formed by shearing a transform boundary
What is a strike-slip fault?
100
Formed by compression at a convergent boundary.
What is a reverse fault?
100
Mountains made when rock breaks and these huge tilted blocks of rock separate from the surrounding rock by faults.
What are fault block mountains?
100
The reservoir from which volcanic materials erupt.
What is magma chamber?
100
A volcano made up of layers of thick lava flows alternating with layers of ash and rock.
What is a composite volcano?
200
A break or crack in the rocks of the lithosphere along which movements take place
What is a fault?
200
The vibration that travels through the Earth and is produced by earthquakes.
What is seismac waves?
200
The primary fast moving body waves.
What are P-waves?
200
The central opening through which the magma erupts.
What is the vent?
200
The force when plates separate as new crust forms between them.
What is tension?
300
Formed by tension at a divergent boundary
What is a normal fault?
300
Smaller earthquakes following the initial earthquake.
What are aftershocks?
300
Slow moving body waves
What are S-waves?
300
A series of huge waves caused by an earthquake or a volcanic eruption beneath the ocean floor.
What is a tsunami?
300
An instrument that detects, measures, and records the energy of earthquake vibrations at a given location.
What is a seismograph?
400
The point below the Earth's surface where an earthquake begins.
What is the focus?
400
The measure of energy released during an earthquake.
What is magnitude?
400
Melted rock in the mantle and lower crust.
What is magma?
400
The force that causes rocks to break as plates rub past each other.
What is shearing?
400
Hawaiin islands were formed by these.
What are sheild volcanoes?
500
The location on the Earth's surface above the focus of an earthquake.
What is the epicenter?
500
Mountains made up mostly of rock layers folded by being squeezed together.
What are folded mountains?
500
Magma that has reached the surface.
What is lava?
500
When plates collide, the force of this collision is called this.
What is compression?
500
A landform mainly made up of small rock particles.
What are cinder cone volcanoes?
