Intro/Feature/Location
Plate Tectonics
Earthquakes
Volcanoes
Minerals
100
These are the four branches of Earth Science
What is Geology, Meteorology, Oceanography, and Astronomy
100
What are the two types of crust
What is Oceanic Crust and Continental Crust
100
This is a massive wave created from an earthquake on the ocean floor
What is a Tsunami
100
These are the three types of volcanoes
What is Sheild Volcanoes, Cinder Cones, and Composite Volcanoes
100
This is the color of a mineral in powdered form
What is Streak
200
These are the four layers of the Earth
What is crust, mantle, outer core, innere core
200
These are the three types of boundaries
What is Lithosphere Boundaries, Divergent Booundaries, and Convergent Boundaries
200
This is the amount of damage caused by an earthquake
What is Intensity
200
These are regions underneath lithospheric plates which are abnormally hot and can cause volcanism in those regions
What is Hot Spots
200
This is the ability of a mineral to glow or change color under UV light
What is Fluorescence
300
This is a hypothesis that is supported by results of experimentation and observation
What is a theory
300
These are the three types of convergence
What is Continental-Continental Convergence, Continental-Oceanic Convergence, and Oceanic-Oceanic Convergence
300
This is the measurement of engery in seismic waves
What is Magnitude
300
This is the mafic lava whcih cools quickly and produces a jagged texture
What is Aa
300
This is when a mineral breaks along smooth, flat surfaces
What is Cleavage
400
This is a theory that can be proven correct each time it is tested
What is a law
400
This is the crust and uppermost mantle( a solid, rigid layer)
What is Lithosphere
400
This is the straightening of plates after plates under stress snap, the cause of the majority of seismic waves
What is the Elastic Rebound Theory
400
This is the opening which magma erupts onto the surface
What is the vent
400
This is the scale that goes 1 to 10(softest to hardest)
What is Mohs Hardness Scale
500
This is the nearly perfect sphere in shape, but is slightly stretched at the equator due to its rotation
What is oblate spheroid
500
This is the simi-iquid lower mantle which convection currents run through and move the plates above
What is Asthenosphere
500
This is the point on the surface of the earth directly above the foucs
What is the Epicenter
500
These are the pieces of pyroclasts which are the size of a tennis ball or larger
What is Volcanic Bombs
500
These are the characteristics of having regular geometric shapes
What is Crystal
