Let's Get Physical
This is the number of physical layers of the earth.
What is 3?
Molten rock that has left earth's crust.
Lava
What is a fault?
The number of mechanical layers of the earth.
What is 5?
The most common type of fault.
What is a dip/slip-normal?
The outermost layer of the earth.
What is the crust?
Dark volcanic rock with lots of gas bubbles.
What is scoria?
The push/pull wave.
What is the P wave?
The physical state of the outer core.
What is liquid?
The number of different types of fault bounderies.
What are 4?
Molton rock.
What is magma?
Molten rock that has not left earth's crust.
What is magma?
The waves that travel along the ground outward from the epicenter.
What is the S wave or surface wave?
The part of the earth that "floats" the tectonic plates.
What is the asthenosphere?
The number of tectonic plates.
What is 15?
The two types of crust.
What are oceanic and continental?
This volcano has very hot and runny lava.
What is a shield volcano?
The tool that measures earthquakes.
What is a seismograph?
The layer of the earth that is made of the crust and upper mantle.
What is the lithosphere?
The 3 ways tectonic plates move.
What is divergent, convergent, and transform?
The thickest physical layer of the earth.
What is the mantle?
The type of volcano that is made up of layers of scoria and has a bowl-shaped crater at the top.
What is a cinder cone?
Each level on the Richter scale is this much stronger than the level before.
What is 10x?
The layer of the earth that gives it it's magnetic field.
What is the outer core?
The release of this is what causes an earthquake.
What is energy?
Causes the movement of magma.
What are convection currents?
The type of volcano that is most likely to be found by a plate boundary?
What is a stratovolcano?
The first wave to be felt after an earthquake.
What is the P wave?
The most viscous part of the mantle.
What is the mesosphere?
The type of fault boundary with only horizontal motion.
What is strike-slip?
The composition of the innermost physical layer.
What is iron and nickel?
Three warning signs of an upcoming eruption.
What are earthquakes, steam eruptions, bulging/growing in size, and small ash eruptions.
Using a seismogram, you would do this with the waves to figure out how far away the epicenter is.
What is find the difference in arrival time between the P and S waves?
The reason that the hottest part of the earth is not liquid.
The oblique fault boundary can be thought of as these two types of boundaries put together.
What is the dip-slip and the strike-slip?
