A place where gas, ash or melted rock come out of the ground.
What is a Volcano?
100
A series of processes in which rock changes from one type to another.
What is the Rock Cycle?
100
Ground movements that occur when blocks of rock in Earth move suddenly and release energy.
What is a Earthquake?

Continents were joined in a single large landmass by this name.
What is Pangea?
200
A solid, geometric form that results from a repeating pattern of atoms and or molecules.
What is a Crystal?
200
Magma that has reached Earth's surface.
What is Lava?

Forms when minerals and sediments are pressed and cemented together.
What is Sedimentary Rock?
200
A break in Earth's crust along which blocks of rock move.
What is a Fault?

300
The melted rock underneath Earth's surface.
What is Magma?
300
Forms when pressure, temperature, or chemical processes change existing rock.
What is Metamorphic Rock?
300
The process by which rock becomes deformed and changes shape due to stress.
What is Deformation?
300
The division of pieces in the Lithosphere.
What is Tectonic Plates?
400
They make up all substances and are the building blocks of matter.

400
Located directly above the focus on Earth's surface.
What is the Epicenter?
400
The reasoning behind the large-scale movements of Earth's lithosphere.
What is Plate Tectonics?
500
A substance that is made up of molecules consisting of two or more elements.

500
The location where a mantle plume can be found.
What is a Hot Spot?
500
An area where a set of deep cracks form.
What is a Rift Zone?
500
A place within Earth along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs.
What is the Focus?
500
The process used to discribe the age and magnetic patterns of sea floor rocks.
