Earthquake
These seismic waves are the most destructive
What is Surface waves
Which type of volcano is usually the biggest
What is a shield volcano
Where are tsunamis more powerful
What is underwater
This event most likely caused the formation of mountain ranges
What is tectonic plates pushed together
This series of processes on earth’s surface, in the crust, and the mantel that slowly change rocks from one kind to another
What is the rock cycle
these seismic waves are first
What are primary waves
What type of volcano is usually the smallest
What is a cinder cone volcano
What causes tsunamis
What is earthquakes
This is the process in which a denser oceanic plate sinks under a continental plate
What is sunduction
This rock is formed by the melting and cooling of magma
What is igneous rock
This is why Earthquakes happen
Tectonic plates have moved
Stratovolcanoes have cooler lava that moves slower and traps more gasses. By this you know…
Why is lava more viscous
This is very rare to cause a Tsunami
What is a meteor
This movement helps move the tectonic plates
What is convection currents
This rock is formed when one rock is changed due to heat and pressure
What is metamorphic rock
Which stress causes mountains
What is compression
What kind of eruption is typically associated with a shield volcano
What volcano produces a quiet eruption with lots of runny lava
This is how tall Tsunami waves can be
What is 100ft
This makes convection currents move
What is heat
This rock is formed when sediments layer or clump together
What is sedimentary rocks
Which type of fault is most commonly associated with an earthquake
What is strike slip fault
A cloud of hot gas, ash and cinders that moves quickly down the slope of a cinder cone volcano or composite volcano
What pyroclastic flow
This is the worlds biggest Tsunami
What is the 1958 Lituya Bay earthquake and Tsunami
This is the name of the supercontinent that existed about 300 million years ago
What is Pangaea
