These are the three plate boundaries.
What are convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries?
This term is when a plate slides underneath another plate.
What is subduction?
This is a supercontinent that spread apart to form continents.
What is Pangaea?
There are two types of these: oceanic and continental.
What are tectonic plates.
These are three results of plate tectonics.
What are volcanoes, tsunamis, and earthquakes.
This is the tool scientists use to record earthquakes.
What is a seismograph.
This term describes an earthquake’s size.
What is magnitude.
DAILY DOUBLE! These are two facts about primary waves.
What is that they are faster and reach the seismograph first What is that they are faster and reach the seismograph first. They also move by pushing and pulling the ground.
This type of wave moves from side to side causing major damage.
What are S-waves.
These are the three steps to create an earthquake.
What are plate movement causes friction, plates snap back together, and vibrations shake the ground.
This is the cause of tsunamis.
What is an underwater earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides.
The water pulls away from the shore is an indication of this.
What happens when a tsunamis is about to reach the shore.
These are three things Japan does to prevent damage during natural disasters.
What are stricter building codes, concrete barriers, and establish evacuation routes.
As fast as a jet engine, up to 1,000 km/hr
What is the speed of tsunamis.
This is the main difference between tsunamis and tidal waves.
What is tsunamis are caused by earthquakes and tidal waves are caused by wind and the moon.
What is the difference between lava and magma?
What is that magma is inside a volcano, but lava is outside.
What are the types of volcanoes?
Shield, cinder cone, composite
This volcano a gentle slope causes by slow moving lava.
What is a shield volcano?
Mount Saint Helens is an example of this type of a volcano.
What is an example of a composite volcano?
Crater Lake, Oregon
What is an example of a cone volcano?
What are the layers of the Earth?
Crust, mantle, inner core, outer core
Describe how the magma moves inside the mantle.
The magma gets heated near the core and rises toward the crust.
What is the material in the inner core?
Liquid iron and nickel due to immense pressure.
This layer is divided into two types of plates: continental and oceanic.
What is the crust.
What is the mantle?
This layer is 1800 miles thick. It is also the thickest layer.
