100
These are the three types of faults.
What are strike slip, normal, and reverse
100
This is the relationship between earthquake and plate boundary.
What is the comparison between earthquakes.
100
This causes particles in the ground to move in a push pull motion similar to a coiled spring.
What are p-waves.
100
This is a scientist that studies earthquakes.
What is a seismologist?
100
This is a vent in Earth's crust through which melted -or molten-rock flows
What are volcanoes?
200
Forces pull two blocks of rocks apart
What is a normal fault
200
These are types of plate boundaries release a tremendous amount of energy.
What is convergent plate boundaries.
200
This causes particles in the ground to move in a up and down rolling motion similar to an ocean wave.
What are surface waves
200
This is a graphical illustration of seismic waves.
What is a seismogram?
200
The movement of Earth's tectonic plates cause this.
What are volcanoes
300
These are two blocks of rock horizontally past each.
What are strike slip faults
300
Shallow earthquakes occur in this area.
What is a divergent plate boundary.
300
This causes particles to move up and down at right angles relative to the direction the wave travels
What are s-waves
300
This scale measures earthquake intensity based on descriptions.
What is the modified mercalli scale?
300
This is molten rock that erupts onto Earth's surface.
What is lava?
400
This is when forces push two blocks of rock together
What is a reverse fault
400
This is where the deepest earthquakes occur when plates collide.
What is a convergent plate boundary
400
This is the slowest seismic wave
What are surface waves
400
This instrument measures and records ground motion and can be used to determine the distance seismic waves travel.
What is a seismometer?
400
This is when volcanoes that are not associated with plate boundaries.
What are hot spots?
500
These occur when stress builds in a plate boundary.
What is a fault
500
This is when shallow earthquakes occur when plates seperate
What is a divergent plate boundary
500
This only travels through solids
What are secondary waves
500
This scale uses the amount of ground motion at a given distance from an earthquake to determine magnitude.
What is the richter magnitude scale
500
This is a humongous semi-circle Formed of volcanoes.
What is the Ring of Fire
