The main "force" causing initial pressure on the crust/rocks.
STRESS (what you're feeling right NOW)
200
Plastic Deformation
a material (crust) bends and stretches beyond its elastic capacity
200
A Fault
is where the crust moves/earthquakes happen
200
Primary Waves
FIRST type of seismic wave we experience during an earthquake
200
Basaltic Magma-What does it have?

300
Focus
Point BENEATH the crust where the waves originate.
300
Tensional Stress
stress called that pulls crust/rock apart
300
A Normal Fault
fault that experiences the "pulling apart" of the crust
300

300
Silica
What makes volcanoes extra explosive/STICKY substance found in continental crust.
400
Tension
The stress that pulls the rock material APART at fault zones
400
Shear Stress
stress that causes a material to twist or slide
400
What does the crust do at a Reverse Fault?
the type of fault that occurs most often at *convergent* plate boundaries. Crust comes together.
