A wide-based volcano that oozes rather then explodes.
What is a shield volcano?
100
When the hanging wall goes up and the foot wall goes down.
What is a reverse fault?
100
The lava oozes instead of exploding.
What is a quiet,non-explosive eruption?
100
Instrument located at or near surface of Earth that record seismic waves.
What is a seismograph?
100
The magma is stored here
What is magma chamber?
200
An explosive volcano with steep sides.
What is a cinder cone volcano?
200
When the foot wall goes up and the hanging wall goes down.
What is a normal fault?
200
It only lasts for a brief second and it is very powerful but can also be just a little one.
What is a explosive eruption?
200
Strength of an earthquake.
What is magnitude?
200
The lava and other pyroclastic materials come out here as well as ash and gasses.
What is the vent?
300
A explosive and oozing volcano made by explosive volcanoes and grows when it oozes.
What is a composite volcano?
300
When two plates slip past each other doing little to none up and down movement.
What is strike-slip fault?
300
It effects how the lava flow due to thickness or thinness.
What is viscosity?
300
Measures magnitude of the size of quakes seismic waves.
What is the richer scale?
300
Through which magma has passed and that has become filled with solidified magma.
What is the pipe?
400
The explosion of a volcano creates these volcanos
what is a cinder cone and composite volcano?
400
It is second to come and can only go through solids not liquids.
What is S wave?
400
Is a fast-moving current of hot gas and rock (collectively known as tephra), which reaches speeds moving away from a volcano of up to 700 km/h (450 mph). The gas can reach temperatures of about 1,000 °C (1,830 °F).
What is pyroclastic flow?
400
Rates quakes according to level of damage.
What is Mercalli intensity scale?
400
Where it is outside the valocaon flowing, exploding, and cooling.
What is lava?
500
lava forming very rough jagged masses with a light frothy texture, a rounded solid piece of lava underwater, wrinkly lava that stays near the source, and smooth undulating.
What is Aa, Pillow, Blocky , and pahoehoe.
500
It is first to come and can move through both liquids and solids.
What is a P wave?
500
It shows signs of activity in future, is most likely to erupt, and is most likely to never erupt again.
What is active, dormant, and extinct.
500
Estimates total energy released and is used for all quakes big, small, near, and far.
