Electric (electron) movement
The tiny building blocks of everything. They're tiny and they're teeny!
What are atoms?
Particles moving between atoms in storm clouds become this.
What is charged?
This subatomic particle flows through the wire when an electric field is present.
What is an electron
Are waves generated by an earthquake when it travels through earth
What is Seismic Wave.
Every magnet has two of these
What are poles.
The same number of positive particles as negative particles.
What is neutral?
North and south poles do this
What is attract
This is a path in which electric charges can flow.
What is an circuit.
Is the point on Earths surface directly above the earthquake focus
What is Epicenter.
An area in the mantle from which heat rises in the form of a thermal plume from deep within the Earth.
What is a Volcanic Hotspot.
When the positive and negative charges no longer balance. This is when negative charges are built up much more than positive. Like on carpet.
What is static electricity?
This is the reason magnets might repel each other.
What is like poles.
Name things (2) that electrons flow easily through. Examples
What is wire, metal poles, anything metal.
Causes particles in rocks to move back and forth in the same direction. They are the first wave to arrive.
P-Waves
A region of high volcanic and seismic activity that surrounds the majority of the Pacific Ocean basin - made up of converging plate boundaries.
What is Pacific Ring of Fire.
An electric charge in motion. (electrons in motion usually in a wire)
What is an electric current?
These factors affect the strength of magnetic forces.
What are strength, size, distance....
Name at least 2 things that could slow the flow of electrons in a circuit.
wood plastic rubber
measures seismic waves from earthquakes
consists of a rotating drum of paper and a pendulum with a pen attached
What is Seismograph.
A current carrying wire wrapped around an iron core is called this.
What is electromagnet.
Electric currents are surrounded by these....
What is an electric fields
Only materials containing these elements are magnetic
What is iron, cobalt, nickel, and a few other rare earth elements
This subatomic particle flows easily in a circuit.
What is electron
Also known as S-waves, they move through Earth by causing particles in rocks to move at right angles to the direction of wave travel.
What is secondary wave
Which wave type can pass through the solid inner core?
What is Primary
