Earthquakes
What is an earthquake
a shift within earth's surface caused by plate movement
This describes a volcano.
What is an opening in earths crust where magma comes to the surface?
This describes a Tsunami.
What is a massive displacement of water caused by an earthquake or underwater volcanoes?
This compresses, pulls and squeezes rock.
What is stress?
What is the ring of fire
area in the Pacific ocean where many earthquakes and volcanoes occur
This is the center of an earthquake on the surface of the earth.
What is an epicenter?
These are the three types of volcanic activity.
What are Extinct, Dormant, and Active?
What three things cause tsunamis
earthquakes, landslides, volcanos
This describes what compression does to rock at plate boundaries.
What is speezes rock together?
This is where magma travels through the volcano to reach the surface.
These are the fastest waves during an Earthquake.
What are P-waves?
Magma is called this after it reaches Earth's surface.
What is Lava?
Name one warning sign of a Tsunami
Ocean water pulling back, loud roaring sounds, sudden water level changes
This fault type has tension stretching the plates away from each other.
What is a normal fault?
This describes a fault.
What is a crack in the rocks of Earth's crust or mantle?
These are the slowest waves during an Earthquake.
What are S-waves?
These are the 3 main types of volcanoes.
What is composite, shield and cinder cone volcanoes?
What is the Ring of Fire?
This type of stress is located at a strike-slip fault.
What is shearing?
This volcano has the most explosive eruptions with lava and pyroclastic flows.
What is a composite volcano?
During an earthquake these waves will always occur first, and these waves will always occur second.
What are P & S waves?
An explosive ash cloud filled with hot gas, lava and lava bombs describes this.
What is a pyroclastic flow?
This is the starting point of a tsunami when it is caused by an earthquake.
What is the epicenter of an earthquake?
This fault type is located at convergent boundary.
What is a Reverse Fault?
