Random
100
Scientist that study earthquakes
What is a seismologist
100
when forces pull tow blocks of rock apart. The blocks of rock above the fault moves down relative to the block of rock below the fault.
What is a normal fault
100
a vent in Earth's crust through which molten rock flows
What is a volcano
100
a small, steep-sided volcano that erupts gas-rich, basaltic lave
What is cinder cone
100

what does the Richter Magnitude Scale measure

What is magnitude

200
energy that travels as vibrations on and in Earth
What is a seismic wave
200

two blocks of rock slid horizontally in opposite directions located at transform plat boundaries.

Example) San Andreas Fault 

What is a strike sip

200
molten rock stored beneath Earth's surface
What is magma
200
a large volcano with gentle slopes off basaltic lavas, common along divergent pate boundaries and oceanic hotspots
What is shield volcano
200

Large chunks of hardened lava 

What are volcano bombs 

300
a crack or a fracture in Earth's lithosphere along which one block or rock moves toward, away from, or past another
What is a fault
300
when forces push two block of rock together. The block of rock above the fault moves up relative to the block of rock below the fault
What is a reverse fault
300
magma the erupts onto Earth's surface
What is lava
300
a large, steep-sided volcano that results from explosive eruptions of and andesitic and rhyolitie lavas along convergent plate boundaries
What is composite volcano
300

Wave(s) produced by earthquakes or landslides 

What is a Tsunami

400
a type of seismic wave which causes particles in the group to move in a push-pull motion similar to a coiled spring. There waves arrive first to a seismometer
What is Primary wave
400
this fault occurs at a transform plate boundary
What is a strike slip fault
400
a location where volcanoes form far from plate boundaries
What is a hot spot
400

This volcano is the smallest type and has one single vent. An example of this is Sunset Crater, Arizona 

What is Cinder Cone 

400

Mountains formed when two plates run into each other or collide

What are Fold Mountains 

500
A type of a seismic wave that causes particles in the ground to move up and down in a rolling motion
What is surface wave
500
this fault occurs at a convergent plate boundary
What is reverse
500
tiny particles of pulverized volcanic rock and glass
What is volcanic ash
500

Magma is high in silica. It is also thick and sticky, and trapped gasses explode out

What are volcanoes with explosive eruptions 

500

You hear about a magnitude 8.0 earthquake on the news. Someone says, "That doesn't sound too bad. An 8.0 is just one more than the 7.0 we had last year."

Explain why that's not the right way to think about the magnitude scale. 

What is an 8.0 is 32X stronger than a 7.0
