Two plates that are colliding together.
What is Convergent Boundary?
100
A normal fault is caused by this type of boundary.

There are ____ main types of Volcanoes.
What is 4?
100
The outermost layer of the Earth.
What is Crust?
100
an extended break in a body of rock, marked by the relative displacement and discontinuity of strata on either side of a particular surface.
What is fault?
200
Two plates that are moving away from each other. Creates a rift valley.
What is Divergent Boundary?
200
This type of fault undergoes compression and creates a _____________ boundary.
What is Reverse Fault?
200
This type of volcano is composed of cinders and bombs, has a bowl shape at the summit, and is the most common volcano.
What is Cindercone?
200
The mantle is split into two sections called this.
What is upper and lower mantle ?
200
Pebble sized igneous rocks made from lava hardening as it falls to Earth.
What is cinders?
300
These are the two types of transform boundaries.
What is Left lateral and Right Lateral?
300
A transform fault is caused by this type of strain.
What is shear?
300
This volcano can be found at hot spots, is made from lava flows and has broad sloping sides.
What is shield volcano?
300
also known as the liquid core.
What is outer core?
300
Movement of the Earth's lithospheric plates.
What is Plate Tectonics?
400
This type of boundary is caused by a normal fault.
What is divergent boundary?
400
This is the type of fault that undergoes shear strain.
What is Strike-Slip?
400
75% of the world's volcanoes are found here.
What is Ring of Fire?
400
The core is made of this metal.
What is Iron ALLOY?
400
An area where one plate goes underneath a less dense plate due convection of the mantle. This creates a volcano and melts the more dense plate.
What is subduction zone?
500
These are the 3 types of convergent boundary. These are caused by what type of strain and what type of fault?
What is Cont-Cont, Cont-Oceanic, Oceanic-Oceanic? Compression and Reverse fault.
500
Usually caused by a quick slip in a fault.
What is an Earthquake?
500
The differences between effusive and explosive eruptions.
What is Effusive: very low viscosity, less gas, ooze rather than boom. Explosive: very dangerous, high viscosity, more gas, causes climate changes.
500
The different spheres of the Earth are...
What is Atmosphere, Lithosphere, Hydrosphere, Cryosphere, Biosphere.
500
The layer of Earth consisting of all frozen water.
What is the Cryosphere?
