Boundaries where plates are slipping and sliding past one another
What is transform fault boundaries?
100
Name a common earthquake hazard in a developing country.
What is landslide, tsunami, etc.
100
Violent explosions are associated with this volcano
What is Cinder Cone Volcano?
100
The rock cycle begins with magma and cools this rock
What is an Igneous rock?
200
Where an oceanic plate is sinking below a plate containing continents.
What is Subduction Zone?
200
Waves that travel by compressing and expanding the ground that it travels through.
What is Primary Wave/Compression Wave?
200
Heat within the volcano that melts snow and ice result is this.
What are Lahars?
200
The conversion of sediment into solid rock
What is Lithification?
300
Excess material works its way back to surface to form strings of volcanic islands in this plate movement
What is Oceanic-Ocean Convergence?
300
Located on the surface of the earth directly above the focus point.
What is Epicenter?
300
This volcano is generally found on ocean floors and tends to flow like wet concrete
What is a Shield Volcano?
300
Rocks that are bent downward, into a basin shape
What are Synclines?
400
New Magma pushes up from the asthenosphere and continues to fill the rift, the rock solidifies, and becomes part of this.
What is Sea-Floor Spreading?
400
Sandy soil is shaken violently by an earthquake, the ground becomes unstable can resemble quicksand.
What is Liquefaction?
400
Rising magma that is released suddenly and forcefully by an explosion
What are Pyroclastics?
400
Compaction and cementation takes place to create this rock
What is Sedimentary Rock?
500
Boundary associated with oceanic ridge, volcanism, faulting.
What is Diverging plate boundary?
500
When the pressure is too great the rock suddenly moves, releasing the stored up energy.
What is Elastic Rebound?
500
The largest igneous intrusion and form the core of many mountains
What is Batholith?
500
Basalt and Gabbros is an example of what type of rock
What is Igneous Rock (Ocean crust)?
