This landform is a mountain or hill filled with hot magma
What is a Volcano?
When two tectonic plates come together.
What are Plate Boundaries?
To wear away or change the appearance of something by longer exposure to the air.
What is weathering?
This layer is made from mostly iron and nickel.
What is the core?
This disaster is formed when cold air meets warm air.
What is a tornado?
A volcano composed of small particles of hardened lava.
What is a Cinder Cone?
A tectonic boundary when the plates move together.
What is a Convergent Boundary?
The process through which larger rocks are broken into smaller pieces.
What is Mechanical Weathering?
There are two types of this layer, oceanic and continental.
What is the crust?
This happens when two tectonic plates move.
What is an Earthquake?
A volcano built up by many layers of hardened lava, tephra, pumice, and ash.
What is a Composite Volcano?
A linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that pulled apart.
What is a Divergent Boundary?
The erosion of rocks building materials, etc. caused by chemical reactions with water and substances.
What is Chemical Weathering?
This layer is solid due to the pressure of the other layers.
This often happens after an earthquake.
What is a tsunami?
A broad domed volcano with gently sloping sides, characteristic of the eruption of fluid, basaltic lava.
What is a Shield Volcano?
A plate boundary where the motion is predominantly horizontal and ends abruptly.
What is a transform boundary?
This material is the major agent of erosion.
What is water?
This layer is made from the lithosphere, asthenosphere, and mesosphere.
What is the mantle?
This happens when pressure builds up underneath a volcano followed by a sudden burst.
What is a volcanic eruption?
This Volcano erupted in the Year 79 A.D.
What is Pompeii?
When transform plates move together creating a mountain.
What is mountain building?
This famous place in the united states was made from water erosion.
What is the Grand Canyon?
This layer is composed of liquid iron and liquid nickel.
What is the inner core?
This is when a mass of earth or rock slides down.
What is a landslide?
