100
The fault pictured here.
What is a strike-slip fault?
100
Earthquakes happen along these breaks in Earth's crust.
What is a fault?
100
The hottest layer of Earth.
What is the inner core?
100
The large cavity full of molten material that lies deep beneath a volcano.
What is the magma chamber?
100
When two plates divide it forms this type of boundary.
What is a divergent boundary?
200
The wall on the left side of this fault is known as this.
What is the hanging wall?
200
Point B shows this.
What is the epicenter?
200
The only layer of Earth that is completely in a liquid state.
What is the outer core.
200
The major volcanic belt around the Pacific Plate.
What is the Ring of Fire?
200
The type of stress caused by two objects being pushed into one another.
What is compression?
300
The type of fault pictured here.
What is a normal fault?
300
These waves can travel through solids and liquids and are the first to arrive during an earthquake.
What are P-waves/Primary waves?
300
The lithosphere is broken into these.
What are tectonic plates.
300
A tall, cone shaped volcano formed by thick magma, and known for their explosive eruptions.
What is a stratovolcano or composite volcano?
300
At a convergent boundary, this type of plate would sink below the other because it is more dense.
What is the oceanic plate?
400
The type of fault pictured here.
What is a reverse fault?
400
The point on the diagram shown by A, the point where rock breaks deep in the earth causing the earthquake.
What is the focus?
400
This happening in the asthenosphere causes the plates above it to shift and move.
What are the convection currents?
400
An example of a volcano that is a hot spot volcano.
What is Hawaii or Yellowstone?
400
The great rift valley in Africa is this type of boundary.
What is a divergent boundary?
500
The type of stress that creates the fault pictured.
What is tension?
500
The system of measuring earthquakes that shows the damage resulting after the earthquake has occurred.
What is the Mercalli Scale?
500
This upper mantle and crust together make up this.
What is the lithosphere?
500
This type of volcanic hazard is when ice caps on a volcano melt, causing a torrent of mud and water to rush down off of the mountain.
What is a lahar?
500
Earthquakes most often occur along these boundaries.
What is a transform boundary?
