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

What measure an earthquake?

The Richter Scale.

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.

What's the difference between landslide and mudslide?

Landslides are sudden movement of loose rock and soil down a steep slope, but a mudslide is when the soil is soaked with water in a landslide
