Supervolcano
Magma
The sudden shaking of the Earth is known as an ______________.
Earthquake
______ waves are the slowest earthquake waves, are large and destructive, and causing undulating complex patterns on a seismograph
Surface
____________ is the severity/impact of an Earthquake on a specific location
A __________ volcano has a steep slope, is highly explosive, and occurs at convergent boundaries. (ex. Mount Fuji in Japan)
Composite
A mountainous landform that features and opening where molten rock escapes
Volcano

P-waves
Supervolcanoes most often occur at _____________ zones or hotspots.
Subduction
What type of volcano is found at divergent boundaries?
Fissure
Volcanoes can occur at both _______________ boundaries, divergent boundaries, and hotspots.
Convergent
The ____________ is the point on Earth's surface directly above the focus.
Epicenter
A series of large waves caused from the displacement of water during an Earthquake.
Tsunami
The ______________________ measures the amount of energy released during an Earthquake
Moment Magnitude Scale
What type of volcano is often found inside of other volcanoes?
Lava Dome
___________ is the liquid/molten rock that escapes from volcanoes
Lava
______________ waves carry the energy of an Earthquake through the Earth.
Seismic
______________ are the movement of debris down a slope.
Landslides
The ______________________ measure the severity of shaking a Earthquake causes on the environment.
Mercalli Scale
Shield
_______________ is a stationary magma plume that is underneath Earth's crust away from plate boundaries.
Hotspot
_______________ is the measure of energy released during an Earthquake.
Magnitude
______________ happens when Earth's crust breaks open
Ground Rupture
_____________ is an Earthquake that induces volcanic activity
