200
Deep feature that forms at a subduction zone
What is a Ocean Trench
200
A massive created from an earthquake on the ocean floor
What is a Tsunami
200
What are Hot Spots
regions underneath lithosphere plates which are abnomally hot and can cause volcanism in those regions
200
ability of a mineral to glow or change color under UV light
What is fluorescence
300
Imaginary lines which run horizontally (East to West) across the earth to distinguish
What is Parallels
300
What is a Divergent Boundary
Where two plates move apart from one another
300
small earthquakes causes from the readjustment of plates after a major earthquake
What is a Aftershock
300
two methods which volcanoes can form, subduction relies on movement of plates, hot our under plates
What is Volcano Formation
300
what is clevage
when mineral breaks along smooth, flat surfaces

What are Plate Tectonics
the theory that the earth's lithosphere is divided into several large plates which move slowly
500
What is the Ring of Fire
a region surrounding the Pacific Ocean where the majority of the earth's earthquakes and volacanoes occur
