100
Plates
What is a section of the lithosphere that slowly moves over the asthenosphere carrying pieces of continental and oceanic crust
100
Volcano
What is a weak spot in the crust where magma has come to the surface
100
Earthquake
What is shaking that results from the movement of rock beneath Earth's surface
100
Lava
What is magma that reaches the Earth's surface
100
Secondary or S Waves
What is the second wave to arrive at the Earth's surface during an earthquake
200
Transform Boundaries
What is a place where two plates slip past each other moving in opposite directions
200
Magma Chamber
What is the pocket beneath a volcano where the magma collects?
200
P Waves
What is the first type of seismic wave to reach the Earth's surface and moves by compressing and expanding
200
anticline
What is a rock that bends upwards in an arch
200
Ring of Fire
What is the name given to the area around the Pacific Ocean where many volcanoes are formed
300
Fault
What is a break in the Earth's crust where masses of rock slip past each other
300
Magma Chamber, Pipe, Vent
What is the correct order of the path of Magma during a volcanic eruption (Use pipe, magma chamber, vent)
300
Focus
What is the point beneath the Earth's surface where rock breaks under stress and causes an earthquake
300
Hot Spot
What is place where volcanoes form above
300
pangea
What is the name of the continent scientists believe was One Giant land mass
400
subduction
What is the process by which the ocean floor sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle
400
Island Arc
What is a string of islands formed by the volcanoes along a deep ocean trench
400
Epi Center
What is the point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquakes's focus
400
Normal Fault
What is a type of where hanging wall slides downward caused by tension in the Earth's Crust
400
Dormant
What is a type of volcano that is not currently active, but can erupt again in the future
500
Convergent Boundary
What is a plate boundary where two plates more towards each other
500
Crater
What is the bowl shaped area that forms around a volcano's central opening
500
Seismograh
What is the instrument used to measure the seismic waves during an Earthquake
500
Plate Techtonics
What is the theory that states pieces of the Earth's lithosphere are in constant slow motion
500
convection currents
What is what most geologists think the movement of the Earth's plates in the mantle is caused by
