100
This type of rock is formed by heat and pressure.
What is metamorphic rock?
100
This is the number of major tectonic plates.
What is seven?
100
At a oceanic/continental fault zone, this type of plate will subduct under the other.
What is the oceanic plate?
100

This is the type of volcano that is the most dangerous due to its production of both smooth lava as well as large pyroclastic materials.

What is a composite volcano?

100
This is the area underground where the earthquake begins.
What is the focal point?
200
This type of igneous rock is formed magma below earth's surface.
What is intrusive igneous rock?
200
This is the name of the tectonic plate that you live on.
What is the north american plate?
200
This type of plate boundary will produce an ocean trench and volcanic islands.
What is an oceanic/oceanic convergent plate boundary?
200
This is the consistency of lava erupting from a shield volcano.
What is: basaltic, watery, thin, runny
200
This is the type of body wave that travels the fastest and will reach the epicenter first.
What are p-waves?
300

This is the process by which particles of minerals are dropped off into small collection areas. Most notably at the end of things like river beds.

What is deposition?

300
This is the motion of asthenosphere that leads to formation of new lithosphere.
What is convection?
300
This type of plate boundary is caused by tensional stress that will eventually produce ridges or rifts.
What is a divergent plate boundary?
300
This is the USA's island chain made entirely from volcanoes.
What is Hawaii?
300
This type of body wave has a side to side, compressional type of movement.
What are p-waves?
400

The process is known for carrying already broken down particles and moving them to a different location.

What is erosion?

400
The hypothesis that describes a supercontinent, named pangaea, that was split apart into the continents we know today.
What is continental drift?
400
Transform plate boundaries undergo a shearing type of stress that will lead to what type of geohazard?
What are earthquakes?
400
This is the concrete like flow produced as pyroclastics, water, and mud mix.
What are lahars?
400
These are the waves that occur only at the surface and cause the most damage during an earthquake?
What are surface waves?
500
Wind, water, glaciers, and gravity are all considered this type of weathering.
What is mechanical weathering?
500

This is the area surrounding the pacific plate and is named for the quantity of volcanos in this region.

What is the ring of fire?

500
Large mountains chains, like those of the Andes, are created from what type of convergent plate boundary?
What is continental/continental?
500
This is one of the reasons that pyroclastics are so dangerous.
What are: blocks sunlight, unable to see, sharp glass-like shards, unable to breath, extremely hot.
500
This is the quick release of energy built up at a plate boundary that is directly related to an earthquake?
What is a snap-back due to elastic deformation?
