Earthquakes
The shaking of the ground.
What is an earthquake?
Solid
What is the earth's inner core like.
A mountain that spits out hot ash and lava.
What is a volcano?
We live on the crust.
What layer of Earth do we live on?
Where plates meet
What are plate boundaries?
500,000.
How many detectable earthquakes occur each year.
Mantle
What is in between the crust and core
Low viscosity.
What allows lava to ooze instead of exploding?
The last liquid part if the Earth's layers.
What is the outer core?
This is called by shear stress. (Fault)
What is a strike-slip fault?
The focus.
What is the main point of the earthquake?
As hot as the sun.
How hot is the core?
it has alternating layers.
What are shield volcanoes?
The layer that tectonic plates are on.
What is the lithosphere?
The boundary is associated to reverse faults.
What is a divergent boundary?
The magnitude runs on a scale of 10. 10, 100, 1000, 10000....etc.
What is the scale of magnitude?
Due to pressure.
Why is the Earth's core soild?
Composite volcano.
What volcano oozes?
It means "weak" layer.
What does "astheno" sphere mean?
This is called by shear stress. (Boundary)
What is a transform boundary?
The epicenter.
What is the point right above the focus of the earthquake?
Flowy
What is the Earth's mantle like
Cinder cone.
What volcano has a tall structure?
Because of all the pressure.
Why is the inner core solid?
It goes by many names, continental-continental, continental-oceanic, oceanic-oceanic.
What is a convergent boundary?
