What is deformation?
process by which rocks change shape when under stress
100
What fault forms along divergent boundaries?
normal faults
100
What is an earthquake?
Earthquakes are grounded movements that occur when blocks of rock Earth moves suddenly and release energy
100
What is a volcano?
A volcano is any place where gas, ash or melted rock come out of the ground
200
When does folding occurs?
A folding occurs when rock layers bend under stress
200

What fault forms along convergent boundaries?

reverse faults
200
What are tectonics plate boundaries?
Tectonic plate boundaries are when two or more tectonic plates meet
200
What is a vent?
A vent is the opening of a volcano
300
What are the two type of folds?
Syncline and anticlines
300

What fault forms along transform boundaries?

strike-slip faults
300
What is the difference between a focus and a epicenter?
The focus of an earthquake is underground, while the epicenter is the area directly above the focus on Earth's surface
300
Name 3 different types of volcanoes
example: Shield volcanoes, cinder-cones, and composite volcanoes
400
What are the three main kinds of faults?
Strike-slip faults, normal faults, and reverse faults
400
What causes Strike-slip faults?
Shear Stress
400
When do most earthquakes occur?
Most earthquakes occur along or near the plate boundaries
400

What's the difference between lava and magma

Magma are melted rocks and lava are magma that has reached the earth's surface
500
What is the difference between a anticline and a syncline?

Anticline:oldest layers of rock are found at the core of a fold, while the youngest layers of rock are found out side of the fold.

Syncline: youngest layers of rock are found at the core of a fold, while the oldest layers of rock are found out side of the fold.

500
What causes normal faults?
Tension
500

What is a intraplate earthquake?

An intraplate earthquake happen for away from plate boundaries

500
Where do volcanoes form?
Volcanoes can form at plate boundaries or within the middle of a plate
