What is an earthquake?
100
Lava is found here.
What is on Earth's surface?
100
The layer of the Earth where we live.
What is the crust?
100
The two types of crust that make up tectonic plates.
What is oceanic and continental crust?
100
The place where most earthquakes and volcanoes occur on Earth. (J. Cash)
What is the ring of fire?
200
The name of the fault in California.
What is the San Andreas Fault?
200
A broad, flat volcano built up of thin lava.
What is a shield volcano?
200
Thickest liquid layer of Earth. Convection currents happen here and move tectonic plates.
What is the mantle?
200
The name for the edge of a tectonic plate.
What are plate boundaries?
200
Besides the Ring of Fire, where do most volcanoes and earthquakes happen?
What is along plate boundaries?
300
A fracture or break in the Earth's crust.
What is a fault?
300
A volcano made up of layers of rock and thick lava. Usually has explosive eruptions.
What is a composite or stratovolcano?
300
Super hot, super dense, solid layer.
What is the Inner Core?
300
The type of boundary when two tectonic plates come together.
What is convergent?
300
When two continental plates come together you get this kind of land form.
What are mountains?
400
Tool used to measure Earthquakes
What is a seismograph?
400
A volcano built up from piled up, pieces of rock. Sunset Crater is an example of one.
What is a cinder cone?
400
The LEAST dense layer.
What is the crust?
400
The type of plate boundary when two plates move apart.
What is divergent?
400
When two plates converge and one goes under the other, it is called a ____________ zone.
What is subduction?
500
List one way buildings can be designed to be more Earthquake resistant.
What is cross braces, shear wall, shear core, moat, or base isolators?
500
List two ways volcanoes can be immediately harmful.
What is lava flows, volcanic ash, mudflows, landslides, pyroclastic flows, and steam explosions.
500
Order the layers from MOST dense to least dense.
What is inner core, outer core, mantle and crust?
500
The type of plate boundary when two plates scrape past each other.
What is transform?
500
Mount Elden is this kind of volcano.
What is a lava dome?
