This liquid substance is what explodes out of the volcano.
What is lava.

"P" waves can travel through
What is solids, liquids, and gases.
100
We have two types of these
What are continental and oceanic plates
100
Ecosystem
Location big or small where living and non-living things live.
200
What school does Mr. Hernandez currently attend?
University of Redlands
200
The Hawaiian Islands were created by this type of volcano.
What is a shield volcano.
200
This wave takes twice as long to reach the epicenter.
What is an "S" wave.
200
The layer that is UNDER the layer humans live on.
What is the asthenosphere. We live on the crust/ continental plate/ lithosphere.
200
Urban
Settlement of humans in a highly dense area with a built environment.
300
True or False: Mr. Hernandez is here at school to help students before and after school?
TRUE, TRUE AND TRUEEEEE! I am always here for all of you!
300
The most dangerous volcano is?
What is a composite volcano.
300
The epicenter of an earthquake is
What is the portion of the crust where the ground first feels the quake coming from the focus which is underground.
300
How does the liquified asthenosphere move?
Magma from the mantle heats up and creates convection. Convection causes hot liquid rock to rise up and as it rises it cools. This creates a circular pattern.
Then, the mantle heats up which causes the asthenosphere to heat up, but not as hot.
300
Census
Survey of the population.
400
What is Mr. Hernandez's ultimate degree he wants to earn?
Doctorate!
400
What is the difference between magma and lava?
Magma is underground and lava is above ground.
400
Name all three types of earthquakes
What are divergent, convergent and transform quakes.
400
Pangea was
A super-continent where all the continents once were one massive land.
400
An organism is alive if...
it can reproduce, take care of itself, grow, develop and respond to things (like my hand slapping in front of your face).
500
Name a sound that Mr. Hernandez HATES when students make it?
PEN CLICKING!! STOP STOP STOP! URGGGHHHHH!
500
How were the Hawaiian Islands created? (Explain in detail)
What is converge and submerge. Converging of two plates and one sinks (submerge). Once the plate that submerged reaches the mantle it liquifies and then starts to get so hot it that the heat rises and rises the magma. Then it explodes out of the crust and starts to create the volcano under the water and over millions of years, it breaks through the water and is now habitable for people to live on.
500
What is a Richter Scale?
What is a scale that measures how strong the waves were of an earthquake.
500
Explain Plate Tectonic Theory
Due to convection, plates move along the asthenosphere crashing into one another. This causes the plates to separate like a cookie falling to the ground and breaking into little pieces.
