ROCKS
Three types of rocks
What are Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic
This is a factor in an experiment or trial that REMAINS THE SAME .
WHat is CONSTANT?
Boundary that is moving APART.
WHat is Divergent (Spreading) Boundary?
Type of volcano in which the top collapses.
What is CALDERA?
Fastest wave leaving a Focus of an EQ.
What is a P (Primary) wave?
All cooled magma forms this type of rock
What is IGNEOUS?
This is the standard used for comparison in an experiment.
WHat is CONTROL?
Boundaries that are moving together to form MOUNTAINS.
WHat is COLLISION boundary?
Most EXPLOSIVE type of volcano.
WHat is CINDER CONE VOLCANO?
The official name of the "S" wave.
What is SECONDARY WAVE?
These types of rocks are created by heat and pressure.
What is METAMORPHIC?
This is what is MEASURED in an experiment.
What is DEPENDENT VARIABLE?
When one plate plunges BELOW another plate.
WHat is SUBDUCTION boundary?
LARGEST volcano that usually has quiet eruptions.
WHat is SHIELD VOLCANO?
Wave that causes the MOST DAMAGE during an EQ.
What is a SURFACE WAVE?
These types of rocks are created by compaction and cementation.
What are SEDIMENTARY rocks?
This is the variable that is BEING TESTED in an experiment.
What is the INDEPENDENT VARIABLE?
Then two plates move in opposite directions PAST each other
what is TRANSFORM boundary?
Superheated gas cloud that can result in a violent and explosive eruption.
WHat is PYROCLASTIC FLOW?
Measures the MAGNITUDE of an EQ.
What is the RICHTER SCALE?
(I would also take the answer SEISMOGRAPH)
These types of rocks can undergo weathering and erosion.
What are ALL ROCKS????? (TRICKY)
The general steps of the SCIENTIFIC METHOD.
WHAT is:
1.Problem/Question, 2.Hypothesis, 3. Conduct Experiment/Testing, 4.Analyze results, 5.Form Conclusion ?? (this general sequence will be correct)
Location in which 75% of all volcanoes and 90% of all EQ happen.
What is the PACIFIC RING OF FIRE?
Rapid MUDFLOW that occurs as a result of an eruption of a volcano,(often covered with snow and ice.)
WHat is a LAHAR?
Measures the INTENSITY/DAMAGE of an EQ.
What is the (Modified) MERCALLI SCALE?
