What is a volcano?

A volcano is a mountain or hill made by hot rocks and gases moving to the surface of Earth from deep inside

A break or crack in rocks where Earth's crust can move is called...
A fault

True or False?

True

What is the term for the point underground where an earthquake starts?

At the focus - where the plates start to move, beneath the epicenter, along the fault (see diagram on p. 272)

What pulls all objects from higher places to lower places?
Gravity
200

A sudden release of energy UNDER Earth's surface that makes the ground shake or crack

Earthquake

Explain how plants can weather a rock.
A plant's roots can grow inside a rock, and as they grow, it can break the rock apart.

What is the difference between lava and magma?
Magma is molten rock below earth's surface; lava is molten rock one it is above the earth's surface.
300
At what point is the greatest damage from an earthquake going to be?
At the epicenter

List 3 rapid changes we have learned about 

Sample Answers: volcano eruptions, landslides, wildfires, tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, and droughts. 

300

The rapid, downward slide of rocks and mud.

Landslide

How can ice cause physical weathering?
If water gets into the crack of a rock and then freezes, it will expand when it turns into ice. The expanding ice can cause the rock to break into smaller pieces.
400
What is the difference between an active and a dormant volcano?
Active volcano - erupts frequently Dormant volcano - a volcano that has not erupted for a long time
400
Explain the difference between an earthquake's focus and its epicenter.
The focus is the point below earth's surface where an earthquake starts. The epicenter is the point on earth's surface directly above the focus.

What comes first: earthquake or tsunami?

earthquake

400

This is caused when frozen water is melted or when HEAVY rains happen in an area. 

hint... Mrs. Molina needed a new car because of one of these!

Floods

Name the 2 types of weathering and how they are different.
Physical and chemical weathering. Physical weathering changes the size and physical appearance of rocks. Chemical weathering causes rocks to change into different materials.
500
Where on earth's crust are volcanoes located?
Weak spots on Earth's crust; along or near where Earth's plates come together
500
Explain how actions around a fault can cause an earthquake.
Rocks can get stuck along a fault. The plates continue to move slowly, putting pressure on the rocks. When the pressure is strong enough, the rocks might break, causing the plates to move suddenly. This causes Earth's crust to shake - an earthquake.

What is another word (synonym) for RAPID?

fast

500

A series of  waves (usually really BIG and powerful) causes by an earthquake, underwater volcanic eruption, landslide or other abrupt disturbance.

Tsunami
