This type of boundary occurs when two boundaries move in completely different directions
What is transform
300
What type of fault occurs at diverging boundary?


Bonus: What landform is created at this type of fault?

Normal Fault


Bonus: Rifts or valleys

300
What type of wave is the most destructive?
Surface wave
300
Which type of volcano is built by alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinders, and bombs?
Composite/strata
300
What type of volcano is quiet now, but might erupt again?

A. Active

B. Dormant

C. Extinct

Dormant
400
The boundary in which tectonic plates are moving away from one another.
divergent
400
What is the area within the earth where the earthquake originates?
hypocenter/focus
400
What does divergent mean?
moving apart, dividing
400
How are volcanoes formed at oceanic crust and continental crust CONVERGING boundary?
The oceanic crust slides under the continental crust and melts. The melted crust rises and form volcanoes.
400

Explain how volcanoes are formed over a hot spot

Bonus: What islands were formed this way?

A region of very hot mantle breaks through the crust as a volcano. As the hot magma reaches the seafloor it cools and hardens.As the plates move, the different parts of the plate move over the hot spot creating multiple volcanoes.


Bonus: Hawaii
