What is an earthquake?
What is An earthquake is the shaking of the earth caused by two plates sliding past each other.
100
What is a land slide?
What is the mass movement of rock, debris or earth down a slope.
100
What is a volcano?
What is a mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth.
100
What is a glacier?
What is a large mass of ice and snow that moves over land
100
What is weathering?
What is The the process where rock is dissolved, worn away or broken down into smaller and smaller pieces.
200
Where do earthquakes usually form?
What is along fault lines.
200
What are two causes of landslides?
What is earthquakes, heavy rain, floods, weathering, volcanic eruptions, and ice wedging
200
How do volcanoes form?
What is volcanoes are formed when magma from the Earth's mantle works its way to the surface.
200
Are glaciers a fast or slow process?
What is slow, they "creep"
200
What is Erosion?
What is The gradual destruction of something by natural forces.
300
What rubs past each other to cause an earthquake?
What is tectonic plates.
300
How do landslides affect the Earth's surface? (at least one example)
What is they move rocks and land, take down trees, and cover things in its path with rocks or dirt.
300
How do volcanoes affect Earth's surface? (at least one)
What is they cover the surface of the Earth with magma and ash as well as cause earthquakes that can crack the Earth or cause landslides
300
How do glaciers change earths surface? (just one)
What is steep cliffs, circular basins, valleys or smooth out the surface.
300
What is the outer layer of earth called? (The part of earth where weathering and erosion takes place.)
What is the crust.
400
How do earthquakes affect the Earth's surface? (at least one example)
What is they can crack the earth and cause landslides.
400
Do landslides change earths surface quickly or slowly?
What is quickly
400
Do volcanoes change earths surface quickly or slowly?
What is quickly.
400
What do you call a very cold period of time when a lot of glaciers cover the earth?
What is ice age.
400
Is weathering a fast process?
What is no, it is slow.
500
What is a seismologist?
What is Someone who studies earthquakes.
500
What is the type of landslide where soil becomes so wet with water it flows down hill?
What is mudflow.
500
Where is the closest volcano to us?
What is Virginia
500
What is the process called where glaciers help with weathering and erosion?
What is ice wedging.
500
What are some changes erosion can make to earths surface?
What is rivers, shrinking beaches/coast lines, land slides, ect...
