Substances that are thick and gooey have this quality
What is high viscosity?
100
A mountain formed from lava and/or pyroclastic material
What is a volcano?
100
Stress causes this
What is deformation?
100
Name for the part of the fault consisting of rock surface below the fault line
What is the footwall?
100
The most dangerous type of volcano. It's also the volcano type that makes up most of the Ring of Fire.
What is a composite cone?
200
Type of lava that has high silica content and relatively slow movement
What is rhyolitic lava?
200
Name for the small circular depression at the summit of a volcano
What is a crater?
200
The type of stress a rock is experiencing if it is being distorted, or pushed/pulled in more than one direction
What is shear stress?
200
Type of fault in which the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall block at a small dip angle
What is a thrust fault?
200
The type of lava that forms shield volcanoes
What is basaltic lava?
300
Large pyroclastic materials made of completely hardened lava
What are blocks?
300
This is formed when a volcano collapses in on itself
What is a caldera?
300
What is typically found between two anticlines
What is a syncline?
300
Where mantle plumes rise up in the middle of a plate and where non-boundary mountains are formed
What is a hot spot?
300
The two types of faults that create folded mountains
What are reverse and thrust faults?
400
The rate at which gas will be released from basaltic lava
What is slowly/gradually?
400
Early blockage of this part of a volcano's anatomy is responsible for a cinder cone's small size
What is the pipe?
400
The type of deformation a rock is experiencing if the stress applied to the rock is less than the rock's overall strength
What is elastic deformation?
400
Name of the parallel mountain range that is formed towards the coast when an oceanic and continental plate converge
What is an accretionary wedge?
400
Type of volcano that typically has single, short lived eruptions
What is a cinder cone?
500
The temperature, pressure, and water content conditions that allow magma to form from solid rock within Earth's interior
What is high temperature, low pressure, and high water content?
500
The processes that occur over a long period of time that allow an inactive volcano to transform into a volcanic neck
What is weathering and erosion?
500
The conditions under which brittle deformation is more likely to occur
What is at low temperature and low pressure?
500
Describes the process by which the Earth's crust sinks if it is thickened, say through mountain formation, and rises if it is thinned out, say through erosion.
What is isostatic adjustment?
500
The type of stress that causes the formation of fault block mountains
