100
It is molten rock stored beneath earths surface.
What is magma
100
The positive results of a volcanic eruptions
What is rock and soil are enriched with valuable nurterins.
200
A location inside Earth where seismic waves originate.
What is a focus
200
A large volcano with gentle slopes of basaltic lava's, common along divergent plate boundaries and oceanic hotspot.
What is a shield volcano
300
Two blocks of rock slides horizontally past each other in the opposite directions.
What is a strike slip.
300
It measures magnitude and it uses the amount of ground motion at a given distance from an earthquake to determian magnitude.
What is a Richter Magnitude Scale
300
A steep volcano that is explosive eruptions of andesitic and rhyolitic lava's along v=convergent plate boundaries.
What is a composite volcano
400
Forces that pull two blocks apart.The block of rock above the fault moves down relative to the block of rock below the fault.
What is a normal fault
400
It measures the total amount of energy released by the earthquake.
What is a Moment Magnitude Scale
400
A small steep sided volcano that erupts gas-rich, basaltic lava.
What is a cinder cone
500
Forces that push two blocks of rock together. The block of rock above the fault moves up relative to the block of rock below the fault.
What is a reverse fault
500
It evaluates the damage that results from shaking.
What is a Modified Mercalli scale
500
Tinny particles of pulverized volcanic rock and glass.
What is volcanic ash
