This is the lines that count degrees north and south, it also begins at the equator.
What is latitude?
100
This is what is formed at the top of the volcano when the eruption occurs.
What is the crater?
100
This is the point in the Earth's crust vertically above where an Earthquake happens.
What is the epicenter?
100
This is the theory that Earth's crust is divided into plates that move.
What is plate tectonics?

There are three of these dividing the globe by climate and sunlight characteristics.
What are zones of latitude?

What is the Arctic Circle?
200
A volcano producing a giant explosion that can be very dangerous. An example would be Mt. St. Helens.
What is a composite volcano?
200
Using both a vertical and horizontal sensor this device monitors earthquakes.
What is a seismograph?
200
This type of boundary is where two plates slide past one another.
What is a transform boundary?

This volcano may constantly erupt, but is mild and often builds new land. An example would be Kilauea in Hawaii.
What is a shield volcano?
300
The result of an earthquake visible on Earth's crust.
What is a fault line?

This volcano can be found dormant in Arizona, it is not steep and materials usually do not travel far from its eruption. An example would be Paricutin in Mexico.
What is a cinder-cone volcano?
400
An earthquake in this location causes a fault plane to form.
What is a normal fault?
400
When two plates meet at this type of convergent boundary, mountain ranges are formed.
What is a continental-continental collision?
400
The result of wind, ice, and rain.
What is weathering?

There are four in America named, Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern.
What are timezones?
500
The force cause by convection currents that creates volcanoes.
What is subduction?
500
These surges come in three forms and cause destruction after an Earthquake has occured.
What are P,S, and Surface Waves?
500
Name an example where two plates are pulling apart at a divergent boundary creating new young land.
What is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge or Iceland?
500
This is where most of the worlds volcanoes occur and many of the worlds big earthquakes as well.
