100
This is the outermost layer of the Earth.
What is the crust?
100
This is a region around the Pacific Ocean where most of the world's earthquakes occur.
What is the Ring of Fire?
100
This is magma.
What is molten rock under the surface of the Earth?

200
This is the only liquid layer of the Earth.
What is Outer Core?
200
This is a massive wave created from an earthquake at the bottom of the ocean.
What is a tsunami?
200
This is magma that erupts on the surface and begins to cool.
What is lava?
200
This is the color of a mineral in powder form.
What is Streak?
300
This is the study of Solid Earth.
What is Geology?
300
This is thin, dense crust and is heavy.
What is Oceanic Crust?
300
The point under the surface where the plates fault.
What is the focus
300
This is dark colored, thin lava found in oceanic crust.
What is Mafic lava?
300
This is when a mineral breaks along smooth, flat surfaces.

What is a chain of volcanic islands that forms at a subduction zone?
400
This is magnitude.
What is the measurement of energy in seismic waves.
400
This is a sheild volcano.
What is a loarge, wide, short volcano with runny mafic lava?
400
This is silicate minerals.
What is minerals that contain silicon and oxygen?
500
This is a variable.
What is the aspect of an experiment that changes.
500
This is a convection current.
What is the movement of heat through the asthenosphere which makes the plates above move?
500
This is intensity.
What is the amount of damage caused by an earthquake?
500
This a Caldera.

500
This is hardness
What is measure of the ability of a mineral to be scratched?
