100
Any place where gas, ash,and melted rock comes out of the ground
What is a volcano?
100
Ground movements that occur when blocks of rock in the Earth move suddenly.
What is an earthquake?
200
The physical layer split up into tectonic plates

200
Happens when lava flows up and through fissures
What is a fissure eruption?
200
The place within the Earth along a fault that causes the 1st motion of an earthquake.
What is a focus?
300
The liquid part of the Earth's core
What is the outer core?
300
The boundary in which two plates collide
What is a convergent boundary?
300
Forms when large rocks break and move past each other
What is a fault?
300
Forms when the magma chamber collapses
What is a caldera?
300
The place where two or more tectonic plates meet
What is a tectonic plate boundary?
400
The two types of crusts
What are the oceanic and continental crusts?
400
The boundary in which two plates move past each other horizontally and scrape past each other
What is a transform boundary?
400
Stress that pushed rock in parallel but opposite directions
What is shear stress?
400
A volcano with gently sloped sides and a broad base.
What is a shield volcano?
400
A series of extremely long waves that can travel 800 km/h
What is a tsunami?
500
The part of the mantle where rocks move slower
What is the mesosphere?
500
When molten rock in the Earth rises through the mid-ocean ridge, cools, forms a new crust, and the old crust moves apart into deep ocean trenches.
What is sea-floor spreading?
500
The two types of convergent boundaries
What are convergent collisional and convergent subduction boundaries?
500
The location where a mantle plume rises through the asthenosphere

500
The scale used to compare the size of one earthquake to another
What is the Richter Scale?
