I Will Let You Know!
100
These are the fastest seismic waves, they have a back and forth motion and can travel through solids liquids and gases.
What are P-waves
100
Earthquakes and Volcanoes occur mainly at tectonic plate boundaries, but a majority of volcano happen along this area also a setting in an aquarium in Finding Nemo!
What is the Ring of Fire!
200
The sudden return of elastically deformed rock to it original shape.
What is elastic rebound
200
The body of molten rock that feeds a volcano
What is the Magma Chamber?
200
These are the three types of volcanoes that form around the world.
What are Shield, Cinder Cone, and Composite
200
These waves move at around 4.1 km/s, they have a side to side to side motion, and can't travel through areas of complete liquid.
What are S-waves?
200
When trying to find this, you will need to calculate the distance of three locations from a given earthquake. Draw circles around the measurement points for that distance , and look for the place where the circles intersect.
What is the epicenter, or where an earthquake occured?
300
Waves of energy that travel through the Earth.
What are seismic waves?
300
An opening at the surface of the earth through which volcanic material passes.
What is a vent?
300
Aa, Pahoehoe, Pillow and Blocky
What are types of Lava?
300
When looking at a seismogram you will note the arrival of p-waves followed by s-waves. The time between when the p-waves start and the s-waves arrive can be used to determine this
What is distance from the epicenter/earthquake?
300
The most explosive volcanoes will have one of or both of these things in its magma.
What is water and silica?
400
The study of earthquakes
What is Seismology?
400
Funnel shaped pit near the top of the central vent of a volcano.
What is a crater?
400
Volcanic Ash, Volcanic Bombs, Volcanic Blocks, and Lapilli
What are Pyroclastic Material
400
Explain the difference between epicenter and focus as it pertains to earthquakes.
Focus is where the quake occurs, and the epicenter is the point directly above the earthquake.

*DAILY DOUBLE* Draw and name the three plate types of plate boundaries *Daily Double*
Convergent, Divergent, Transform
500
The change in a rocks shape due to stress.
What is deformation?
500
Volcanocally active area of Earth's surface far from a tectonic boundary, coincidentally also how Hawaii was formed.
What is a Hot Spot?
500
Measuring slope/dome of a Volcano, Recording ground and water temperatures, Tracking small earthquakes, and Recording Volcanic Gasses released to the environment are all used to do this.
Predict Volcanic Eruptions
500
This type of volcano can also be called a Stratovolcano, it usually has explosive eruptions that are followed by gentle lava flows.
What is a Composite Volcano?
