100
This causes volcanoes to erupt.

100
Rocks are made of these.
What are minerals?
200
These are the three layers from the center to the outside.
What are the core, mantle, and crust?

What did one earthquake say to the other earthquake?
It wasn't my fault.
300
This is the matter that exits from the top of a volcano.
What is lava?
300
This type of igneous rock is formed from cooled magma.
What is intrusive igneous rock?
400
This is the energy that causes the plates to shift (move).
What are convection currents?
400
These are what minerals are made of.
What are compounds and elements?
400
Earthquakes happen because of this.

This volcano erupted in May of 1980 near Tacoma, WA.
What is Mt. St. Helens?
400
Any rock can become this type of rock.
What is metamorphic rock?
500
The area where one plate dives below another plate is called this.
What is a subduction zone?
500
Minerals are found in me. And I am found in minerals too. What am I?
A mine!!!
500
The largest earthquake ever recorded in the U.S. happened here.
Where is Alaska?
