100
Largest Type of Volcano. Formed Totally of Lava Flows. Hotspot under oceanic plate. Not Explosive.
What is Shield Volcano
100
This plate moves sideways. Causes earthquakes. The San Andres fault and the Anatolian fault are examples of this.
What is Transform Boundary
100
This is a result of stress on the rocks. When stress is greater than the rock's strength, rocks will move and break.
What is an Earhtquake
100
This volcano is located in Mexico. It is one of the most active volcanoes currently. It is near the Pacific Ocean
What is Colima
100
This Hawaiian island is still erupting
What is Mauna Loa or Kilauea
200
Hotspot either under continent or ocean. High Viscosity, very explosive. Paricutin is an example of this
What is Cinder Cones
200
Oceans have to start with this boundary
What is Divergent Boundary
200
Compression, Tension, and Sheer are an example of this
What is Stress
200
This country was once attached to Africa, Australia, and Antarctica during Pangea
What is India
200
This earthquake happened in 1989, causing a lot of structural damages such as pancaked highways.
What is the 1989 World Series Quake
300
Formed by subduction, either ocean-ocean or ocean-continent. High to low viscosity.
What is Composite or Stratovolcano
300
This boundary can cause: Mountain Ranges, Volcanoes, Island Arcs, and continental sutures.
What is Convergence Boundary
300
In order to find the location of this, you need to use P waves and S waves. It is usually found on the surface, on top of the focus.
What is Epicenter
300
This mountain range located in Wyoming is primarily faulted.
What is the Grand Tetons
300
This ocean is Earthquake-prone
What is Pacific Ocean
400
Iceland is an example of this and it is still growing.
What is a Hotspot or Shield Volcano
400
This divergent boundary landform is found in Northeast Africa. It is where Lucy (the first Humanoid) was found.
What is Rift Valley
400
One moves sideways and causes the most destruction and damages. The other moves vertical (up and down) and causes less damage
What is Love waves and Rayleigh Waves or Surface Waves
400
When Mt. Pelee erupted, it wiped out the population on this island
What is Martinique
400
This ridge is making the Atlantic Ocean grow larger.
What is Mid-Atlantic Ridge
500
Majority of volcanoes are found here.
What is the Ring of Fire
500
1. Lithospheres is moving on top of the asthenosphere. 2. Lithosphere is broken up into plate boundaries that all move in there own direction
What is Plate Tectonic Theory
500
This shows the amount of damages (or deaths). In the US we use the Modified Mercalli Scale. I= little damage, XII= total damage
What is Intensity
500
This mountain range was formed at the same time as Pangea
What is the Appalachian Mountains
500
This earthquake happened on September 19. It had a magnitude of 7.1. It was caused by the Coco's subducting under the North American Plate.
What is the 2017 Mexico City Earthquake
