300
Released energy that travels as vibrations on and in Earth
What are seismic waves
300
This type of fault pulls two blocks of rock apart. The block of rock above the fault moves down relative to the block of rock below the fault. They occur in divergent plate boundaries
What is normal fault
300
Seismic wave that travels only on Earth's surface closest to the epicenter.
What are surface waves
300
This type of volcano are common along divergent plate boundaries and oceanic hot spots
What is shield volcanoes
300
Most of the volcanic activity on Earth occurs A. along mid-ocean ridges B. along transform plate boundaries C. at hot spots D. within the crust
What is A. along mid-ocean ridges
400
A lag-time graph illustrates the relationship between the time it takes a seismic wave to travel from the earthquake epicenter to a seismometer and the A. distance between the earthquake and the seismometer B. earthquake intensity C. earthquake magnitude D. size of the fault
What is A. distance between the earthquake and the seismometer
400
This type of fault pushes two blocks of rock together. The block of rock above the fault moves up relative to the block of rock below the fault. They occur in convergent plate boundaries.
What is reverse fault
400
Seismic waves that can travel through Earth's interior are: A. Primary waves and Secondary waves B. Primary waves and Surface waves C. Secondary waves and Surface waves D. Primary waves, Secondary Waves and Surface waves
What is A. primary waves and secondary waves
400
Large steep-sided volcanoes made from a mixture of andesitic and rhyolitic lava and ash
