What type of volcano is the most common?
Cinder cone

300
Which type of volcano had the most violent eruptions? (If yours didn't think about which type actually has the most violent eruptions)
What is Composite

After there has been an earthquake why are 3 seismic reading stations needed to locate the epicenter?
To triangulate the position. Stations can use the data the get from the waves of a earthquake to make a circle. Where each stations circle overlaps is the epicenter
400
What scale is used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake?
Richter Scale

What is the most destructive part of a volcano eruption?

P wave is longitudinal
S wave transverse and does more damage

What is the difference between lava and magma
Magma is molten rock beneath the earths surface and lava is molten rock once it erupts onto the earth surface
500
Rock that has been formed by immense heat and pressure is called?
What is Metamorphic Rock
