Intro/Features/Location
Plate Tectonics
Earthquakes
Volcanoes
Minerals
100
These are waves created from movement within the Earth
What is Seismic Waves
100
This is the proposed supercontinent 200 million years ago
What is Pangaea
100
These are regions where plates under stress move apart.
What is Fault Zones
100
These are any structures which moves magma to the earth's surface.
What is Volcanoe
100
When a mineral breaks along smooth, flat surfaces.
What is cleavage
200
These are the two dates per year which direct sunlight strikes the equator
What is Equinox
200
This is the thick, light crust found on land.
What is Continental Crust
200
This is the point under the surface of the earth where plates fault.
What is Focus
200
This is the thinnest of all pyroclasts.
What is Volcanic Dust
200
This is the 1-10, softest - hardness
What is Mohs Hardness Scale
300
These are imaginary lines which run horizontally (East to West) across the earth to distinguish location on earth
What is Parallels
300
This is where two plates move apart from one another.
What is Divergent Boundary
300
A massive wave created from an earthquake on the ocean floor.
What is Tsunami
300
These are large, wide, short volcanoes which produce runny mafic lava.
What is Shield Volcanoes
300
This is the ability of a mineral to glow or change color under UV light.
What is Fluorescence
400
This is the study of maps
What is cartography
400
This is a deep feature that forms at a subduction zone.
What is ocean trench.
400
This is the measurement of energy in seismic waves.
What is Magnitude
400
This is a feature produced when an emptied magma chamber causes a volcanoe to collapse.
What is Caldera
400
These are minerals containing silicon and oxygen (80% of all minerals)
What is Silicate Minerals
500
This is the study of the Universe Beyond Earth
What is Astronomy
500
This is a chain of volcanic islands that forms at a subduction zone.
What is Island Arc
500
These are small earthquakes caused from the readjustment of plates after a major earthquake.
What is Aftershocks
500
These are BB or Marble sized particles of rock
What is Lapilli
500
This is the color of a mineral in powdered form.
What is Streak
