Tsunamis
Where do tsunamis start
from an underground earthquake
what are ALL the parts to a volcano
Magma chamber, vent, crater, lava
Subduction is
when two plates slide and "sink"
what surronds the lava as its coming up from the magma chamber
the throat
the mantle is
the layer beneath the crust and is partly molten (what plates move on too)
What is the amplitude
Maxium distance something moves from the resting point
where do volcanoes forms from
Convergent and divergent boundries and hot spots
A transform fault is where,,,
two plates slide past each other horizontally, without getting closer or further apart from each other
what is a tsunami
a bunch of large waves cuased by earthquakes, volcanoes or landslides
What does plate movement cause
earthquakes, volcanoes and mountians
What are tsunamis not caused by
weather
What is a volcano
An opening in Earths crust where magma, ash and gases escape
what is a tsunami
a large series of large ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides
Lateral sliding is
when two plates slide against each other creating natural disasters
what is an earthquake
the shaking of earth caused by movement along faults in the crust
what is an cause and effect relationship for tsunamis
underwater earthquake, water displaced, tsunami waves
what does the vent allow the lava to do
Allows the lava to come up from the magma chamber and out of the crater
The lithosphere is the,,,,
crust and upper mantle
What is the hypocenter
point in earth were earthquake begins
When a divergent boundary happens, what crust is left on the side
the old crust making way for the new crust (mid ocean ridge)
Tsunami waves grow taller near the
shore
What are secondary cones
Holes in the volcano were lava flows out
where does the lava come out of
the crater
in a convergent boundary, plates collide with each other and create
mountains and volcanoes
What is a volcano
an opening in earths crust where magma, ash, and gasses escape
