Compare and Contrast EQ scales
Be able to see which one of the EQ's in stronger and which one is weaker

What causes volcanoes to form at convergent and divergent boundaries?
Convergent -> One plate slips under the other and creates the volcano
Divergent-> Plates pull apart causing volcano and EQ activity

How do we ID rocks?
To identify a rock, first take note of its physical properties like color, luster, banding, layering, and grain size

How are the Earth,Sun and Moon situated?
Solar and lunar eclipses take place when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned. This type of event is also called a syzygy. During a solar eclipse, the Moon blocks the view of the Sun as seen from Earth.

How does viscosity affect eruptions?
It will determine the shape of the volcano with continued eruptions

What are the three main groups of rock?
Igneous, Sedimentary & Metamorphic.

What causes eclipses?Types?
The Moon and Earth have to be on the same orbital plane with the Sun.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves between the sun and the moon, blocking the sunlight that is normally reflected by the moon. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is directly between the sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth.

How is each rock type formed?
Igneous rocks are formed from melted rock deep inside the Earth. Sedimentary rocks are formed from layers of sand, silt, dead plants, and animal skeletons. Metamorphic rocks formed from other rocks that are changed by heat and pressure underground.
