Where do surface waves start?
Epicenter
100
List the three types of Volcanoes.
Shield, Cinder cone, and Composite.
100
List the different types of plate boundries.
Convergent, Divergent, and transform.
100
How can a volcano affect human culture/society.
Earthquakes disrupt the way of life and dispurses people and can cause grief in the society.
200
Where do primary and secondary waves start?
The Focus
200
What is Viscosity?(Relating to volcanoes.)
How thick the lava is in a volcano.
200
What type of boundary is the ring of fire mostly surrounded by?
Convergent Boundaries.
200
What is more concerning to humans? The epicenter or the focus.
The epicenter because it causes surface waves, the most destructive.
300
What are the three types of surface waves?
Priamary, Secondary, Surface Or P,S,L waves
300
What are the differences between the types of volcanoes?
Composite - Quiet and Explosive Cinder Cone - Explosive Shield - Quiet
300
What is the largest tectonic plate.
The pacific plate.
300
What can a volcano do to human culture/society.
It can destroy the humans food sources or can displace them from the home.
400
What is the difference between an epicenter and the focus?
The epicenter in on the surface and the focus in underground.
400
What are factors that determine the explosiveness of a volcano?
The types of gasses and the amount of silica/viscosity of magma.
400
How the earth has changed as a result of each boundary? 1 for each boundary.
Divergent boundaries - Great Rift Valley Mid-Atlantic Ridge Volcanoes Earthquakes Convergent boundaries - Trenchs Volcanoes Mountains Earthquakes Tunamamis Transform boundaries - Earthquakes
400
Why do we care when exactly volcanoes will erupt?
We can tell when to evacuate the area.
500
How energy is stored and released during earthquakes?
There are crags on the tectonic plates and when they catch on each other they build up stress. When the stress gets released the energy get transformed into P,S, and L waves.
500
How does the ring of fire unite plates, earthquakes and volcanoes?
The earthquakes causes seismic waves to push magma in to the chamber of a volcano building pressure causing it to explode.
500
How has the theory of plate tectonics has helped us understand earthquakes and volcanoes?
We know where volcanoes are more likely to erupt and where earthquakes are going to happen before they happen.
500
Why do we need to know where and in what direction a volcano will erupt?
So we know where to evacuate and what things will need to move away from the area.
