Volcanoes
This type of Volcano is in the shape of a warrior shield. it is also wide, and gently sloping. Example- Hawaii's Mauna Loa Volcano
This type of plate boundary is where two plates move away from each other, letting magma rise to form new crust.
Divergent Boundary
This is the name of the point on the Earth’s surface directly above where an earthquake starts.
The Epicenter
This plate includes most of North America and parts of the Atlantic Ocean.
North American Plate
Is Mount Everest a previous Volcano
No
This type of volcano is built from layers of lava and ash and is known for explosive eruptions — Mount St. Helens is one.
A composite/stratovolcano
At this type of boundary, one tectonic plate slides beneath another, often causing volcanoes and earthquakes.
Convergent Boundary
This zone around the Pacific Ocean is known for frequent earthquakes and volcanoes.
This large oceanic plate is being subducted beneath the South American Plate, forming the Andes Mountains.
The Nazca Plate
This island chain was formed by a hotspot in the middle of the Pacific Plate.
The Hawaiian Islands.
This small, steep volcano is formed from explosive eruptions that throw out ash, cinders, and rocks — it's the most common type of volcano.
A cinder cone volcano
This type of boundary involves two plates sliding past each other, like the San Andreas Fault.
Transform Boundary
This type of fault occurs when two blocks of crust move past each other horizontally, like along the San Andreas Fault.
Strike-Slip Fault
The movement of these large sections of Earth’s crust causes earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
Tectonic Plates
This tool measures the strength of ground shaking during an earthquake
A Seismograph
La Soufrière is part of this volcanic island group in the Caribbean, known for its explosive volcanoes.
The Lesser Antilles
The volcanoes in the “Ring of Fire” mostly form at this kind of plate boundary.
Convergent Boundary
This type of Fault happens, when one piece of crust hangs onto each other.
Reverse Fault
The boundary between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate created this tall mountain range.
The Himalayas
The Andes Mountains formed along this type of tectonic boundary, where an oceanic plate sinks beneath a continental plate.
A Convergent Boundary
This deadly volcanic hazard, a fast-moving avalanche of hot gas, ash, and rock, destroyed the Roman city of Pompeii and has occurred at volcanoes like Mount St. Helens and La Soufrière.
Pyroclastic Flow
This geological feature forms when an oceanic plate sinks below a continental plate, melting rock and forming a line of volcanoes.
Subduction Zone
This landform is created when two tectonic plates pull apart at a divergent boundary, causing the crust to sink between faults.
A Rift Valley
This tectonic plate is mostly underwater, located between the Pacific and Antarctic Plates, and helps form part of the Pacific Ring of Fire.
The Cocos Plate.
This supervolcano, located in the United States, sits atop a hotspot and has the potential for extremely large eruptions.
