5. EQs/Volcanoes 100 What is a sudden release of pressure in Earth’s crust that results in the ground shaking called? Answer: an earthquake

6. EQs/Volcanoes 200 True or False: Earthquakes are equally likely in all parts of the world. Answer: false

7. EQs/Volcanoes 300 What is the difference between magma and lava? Answer: magma is liquid rock underground and lava is above ground.

8. EQs/Volcanoes 400 What was the magnitude of the largest earthquake in recorded history? Answer: 9.5

9. EQs/Volcanoes 500 What are two factors that influence the viscosity of magma? Answer: silicates, temperature, location (continental or oceanic crust)

10. Events 100 What is an example of an earthquake where there weren’t many deaths? Answer: varies (nisqually)

11. Events 200 What is an example of an earthquake that caused over 100,000 deaths? Answer: Sumatra, Shaanxi, Tangshan, Gansu

12. Events 300 What is an example of an earthquake where lives could have been saved by building codes? Answer: Kobe, Izmit, Haiti

13. Events 400 Why were the eruptions of Mt. St Helens and Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines considered successful by scientists? Answer: They were predicted and many lives were saved as a result.

14. Events 500 What happened to the island of Thera (Santorini Greece) that started the legend of the lost city of Atlantis? Answer: It blew up in an eruption and was covered by the sea in the subsequent tsunamis.

15. Plate Tectonics 100 What are the two types of tectonic plates? Answer: oceanic and continental

16. Plate Tectonics 200 What drives tectonic plate motion? Draw a picture to show what is happening. Answer: convection in the mantle

17. Plate Tectonics 300 Where do nearly all major earthquakes and volcanoes occur? Answer: along tectonic plate boundaries

18. Plate Tectonics 400 Question: What are the 3 types of tectonic boundaries? Answer: convergent, divergent, transform

19. Plate Tectonics 500 What are the 3 types of convergent boundaries? Answer: continental-continental, continental–oceanic, oceanic-oceanic

20. Tectonic Boundaries 100 Draw a picture of a convergent boundary (with arrows!) Answer:

21. Tectonic Boundaries 200 Draw a picture of one plate subducting beneath another. Answer:

22. DAILY DOUBLE - Tectonic Boundaries 300 Which type of tectonic boundary caused the cascade mountain range? Answer: convergent (oceanic- continental)

23. Tectonic Boundaries 400 What tectonic activity is causing the Himalayan mountains? (Mt. Everest) Answer: Convergent boundary. Continental-continental collision

24. Tectonic Boundaries 500 Look at the map. Name one type of boundary and what is happening between the plates involved.

25. The Rock Cycle 100 Which type of rock is formed from the cooling of magma or lava? Answer: igneous

26. The Rock Cycle 200 Which type of rock is formed by compaction and cementation of sediment under large bodies of water? Answer: sedimentary

27. The Rock Cycle 300 What has to occur for a sedimentary rock to become an igneous rock? Answer: it has to be melted and then cooled into an igneous rock.

28. The Rock Cycle 400 What has to happen for an igneous rock to become a metamorphic rock? Answer: It has to undergo high temperature and pressure.

29. The Rock Cycle 500 What has to happen for an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock to become a sedimentary rock? Answer: weathered and eroded into sediment, deposited into large body of water and compacted/cemented into sedimentary rock.
