If, then, and because is in this.(In DYOL)
What is the hypothesis?
100
What goes first on the formal lab report.
What is the title?
100
The mantle.
What lies directly beneath the crust?
100
Tectonic plates moving against in any motion.
What is are earthquakes?
100
This is a pricnipal that states geologic processes that occured in the past can be explaned by current geologic processes.
What is uniformitiariantism?
200
This variable is manipulated by the scientist.
What is the independant variable?
200
This is the process of breaking a complex topic, or substance, into smaller parts, to gain a better understanding of it.
What is the analysis?
200
The sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate.
What is subduction?
200
The study of earthquakes.
What is seismology?
300
This variable depends on the independant variable.
What is the dependent variable?
300
A paragraph that tells whether your hypothesis was suported.
What is the conclusion?
300
The soft layer of the mantle on which the tectonic plates move.
What is the asthenosphere?
300
The sudden return of elastically deformed rock to its undeformed shape.
What is elastic rebound?
300
A principle that states that geologic change occurs suddenly.
What is catatrophism?
400
This variable is the group your experiment is compared to.
What is the control group?
400
You have to list these links at the end of a formal lab report.
What are the sources?
400
A massive, irregularly shaped solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere.
What is a tectonic plate?
400
The point on earth surface directly above the earthquake's focus.
What is the epicenter of an earthquake?
500
This is using the scientific method to investigate a problem.
What is Lab investigation?
500
This is what you form at the end of a formal lab report
What is the new question?
500
Made of the elements of oxygen, silicon, and aluminum.
What is oceanic/continental crust mostly made of?
500
A tracing of earthquake motion created by a seismograph.
What is seismogram?
500
A principle that states that younger rocks lie above older rocks if the layers have not been disturbed.
What is superposition?
