Define lithosphere
The hard, solid layer on top of the mantle
Define magnitude
size of an earthquake
Define earthquake
sudden release of energy in Earth’s interior, which can cause shaking at the surface
What were we investigating with the volcano lab?
to model gassy and less gassy volcanic eruptions
BxH/2
What are plate boundaries?
Places on the surface where two or more of Earth’s plates meet
What do and what are the two important ones that scientists use to reveal structuce of Earth's interior?
Scientists rely on seismic waves, P-Waves and S-Waves
What is a volcano?
an opening in Earth’s surface through which lava, gas and ash escape from magma underground.
What were we investigating with the sandpaper and block of wood?
investigate how forces between moving plates cause earthquakes, investigation to determine what factors influence the magnitude
What was the word's first known empire? And where was it?
Akkadian Empire. Mesopotamia
What is the asthenosphere?
below the lithosphere, depths of 100 km and about 250 km, weak, soft layer, that can flow and change shape
Who was and what did Igne Lehmann do?
Studied seismic waves to figure out interior of Earth. She was a scientist who studied the Earth's mantle.
What is the difference between magma and lava?
lava is above ground and magma is below ground
What were we investigating with the sand and clay?
aquifers and aquitards
calculate the mean
34, 28, 19, 23, 15
23.8
Name all 3 plate boundaries
divergent, convergent and transform
What is the difference between aquifer and aquitard?
aquifer allows water to pass through, aquitard blocks water.
When lava cools what can it create? AND what can change what kind it is?
igneous rock, gas in the lava
The mostest awesomest funner teacher ever.
Stop lying.
What is the root frag mean?
to break
What plate type is new lithosphere created?
diveregent
What is a landslide and what are the three main causes?
the flow of rock, soil and other earth materials down a slope, earthquake, excessive precipitation and steep slopes
How do geologist use GPS? and what is GPS
to track the movements of lithospheric plates, global positioning system is a satellites communicating with ground stations
What is the geological process happening in east Africa? and what will it cause?
divergent, two plates moving away creating a rift valley and eventually an ocean
define mean, median, mode and range
average, middle, most and difference between smallest and largest
