Volcanoes
Which Volcano produced the loudest sound ever recorded?
What is Krakatoa?
What is magma when pushed up to the surface due to pressure?
What is Lava?
What is a Earthquake?
A earthquake is a dangerous tremor in the ground from the friction of tectonic plates.
What is a Tsunami?
A Tsunami is a very big tidal wave that formed from the displacement of the sea floor, causing mass destruction occurring by coasts and sea shores.
What is a after effect of another natural disaster after a Tsunami?
What is a flood
Where are 75% of the world's Volcanoes located?
What is the ring of Fire?
What happens at a fault?
Earthquakes form due to the tension, sending tremors through the ground from stress on plates. Plates slide up and down also creating valleys.
How does a Earthquake form?
From a sudden slip or movement of tectonic plates along faults.
How does a Tsunami form?
A Tsunami is formed through a displacement in the ocean. Tsunamis are commonly caused by earthquakes.
If a volcano erupts near a forest, what other natural disaster occurs?
What is a Wildfire?
Which type of Volcano has the most deadly Eruption?
What is a Composite/Stratovolcano? (It consists of very high viscosity lava, which makes it explosive.)
What are the 2 outcomes of Subduction?
What is an Earthquake and Volcanic arc?
What does P and S waves stand for?
What is a Primary and Secondary wave?
How high can Tsunamis go?
Tsunamis can rise up to 100ft.
What are the 3 types of Faults?

What are the 3 main types of Volcanoes?
What is a Shield, Cinder cone, and Stratovolcano?
After Krakatoa fell into a caldera, what was the natural disaster that killed people 24 miles away?
What is a Tsunami?
What does a Primary wave and Secondary wave mean?
Primary wave is the first and fastest seismic wave that hit from through the earth. Detecting this helps sending out alerts. A Secondary wave is the damaging waves that cause buildings to fall.
What happens with the shore water right when a Tsunami is about to happen?
The water retracts back into the ocean and forms into a huge tidal wave leaving the sea shore floor exposed.

What is a landslide?
What are the deadly flows on a volcano that moves up to 700km per hour?
What is a Pyroclastic flow?
What forms when a normal or reverse fault occurs?
A valley or deep oceanic ridges.
What is the epicenter of an Earthquake?
An epicenter is on the surface, right above the focus or strongest point of the earthquake.
What event would we use to decide to predict a future triggered Tsunami?
What is an Earthquake?
When earthquakes create strong tremors that can even split open deep openings in faults. This is called a...
