The three main types of plate boundaries
What are divergent, convergent, and transform?
The shape of volcano that is formed from loose material such as ash and cinders.
What is a cinder cone volcano?
Dark-colored igneous rocks that are rich in elements like Calcium, Iron, and Magnesium but poor in silicon.
What are Mafic Igneous Rocks?
The removal and transport of material from one place to another.
What is Erosion?
This forms extrusive igneous rocks.
What is lava?
Underwater earthquakes can cause this massive disaster.
What is a Tsunami?
A funnel-shaped pit or depression at the top of a volcanic cone

What are sediments?
The point beneath the surface where the rocks break and move.
What is the Focus?

What is a Landslide?
The process in which sedimentary rocks are arranged in layers.
What is Stratification?
The measure of the energy released by an earthquake.
What is the Magnitude?
Where plumes in the mantle where hot material is rising that are not associated with plate boundaries.
What are Mantle Hot Spots?
Metamorphic rocks that contain aligned grains of flat minerals.
What are Foliated Metamorphic Rocks?
Sediments that are deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake building up a landform.
What is a delta?
Rock that is heated by nearby magma.
What is contact metamorphism?
The record of the Earthquakes waves is called this.
What is a seismogram?
Mount Vesuvius and Mount St. Helens are examples of this type of volcano.
