Shifting Ground
This feature forms at a divergent boundary under the ocean.
Mid-Ocean Ridge
75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes are in this place, sharing a name for a famous song by Johnny Cash
The Ring of Fire
Fossils that are used by scientists to define specific geological periods and date rock layers are known as
Index fossils
This type of energy is "stored" before sudden conversion, like a rock on a cliff
Potential Energy
Translucent
The San Andreas Fault is an example of this "sliding" boundary.
Transform Boundary
Molten rock under the Earth's surface is known as
Magma
Type of rock formed from layers of sand, shells, and pebbles.
Sedimentary
Energy stored inside the core of an atom is called:
Nuclear Energy
The angle the light hits is exactly equal to the angle it bounces off, as stated by this law
The Law of Reflection
The core of the Earth is mostly made of these two metals.
Iron and Nickel
The type of volcano that has the most explosive eruptions are known as
Composite volcanoes
The process by which sediment, soil, and rocks are added to a landform after being eroded and relocated is known as:
Deposition
Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves (like the sun) is known as.
Radiation
Light changes direction and speed when it moves from one medium to another, also known as this process
Refraction
When two plates collide and one sinks beneath the other.
Subduction
A magmatic eruption with a passive flow of lava, rather than an explosive one, is known as
The process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces by wind or water.
Weathering
This type of wave requires some form of medium to travel through, like the ground or water.
Mechanical Wave
Which wavelength colors of light are being reflected by a black surface?
None of them
The tool used to sense, record, and display the energy of an earthquake.
Seismograph
Hot gas and volcanic matter flow away from volcanoes at speeds up to 430 mph, at temperatures up to 1000°C, are known as this incredibly destructive and deadly volcanic hazard
Pyroclastic Flow
The law that states that in an undisturbed sedimentary rock or soil layer, the oldest rock strata will be at the bottom, and the younger layers will be deposited on top.
Law of Superposition
The range on the electromagnetic spectrum that creates light is known as the
Visible Spectrum
The most dangerous range on the electromagnetic spectrum is
Gamma rays
