Question
Answer
FOLDED MOUNTAIN/MONTANA PLEGADA   a mountain that forms as continental crust is compressed and rocks bend into large folds/una montagna que se forma cuando la corteza continental es comprimida y las rocas se doblan en grandes plieges  
🗑
FAULT-BLOCKED MOUNTAIN/MONTANA DE BLOQUES DE FALLA   a mountain that forms as blocks of rock move up or down along normal faults in areas where the lithosphere is being pulled apart/una Montana que se forma cuando bloques de roca se mueven hacia arriba o hacia abajo a lo largo de fallas normales en las area  
🗑
VOLCANO/VOLCAN   an opening in the crust through which molten rock, rock fragments, and hot gases erupt; a mountain built up from erupted materials/una bertura en la corteza a traves de la cual la roca fundida, fragmentos de roca y gases calientes hacen erupcion; una Mont  
🗑
LAVA   molten rock that reaches a planet’s surface through a volcano/roca fundida que llega a la superficia de un planeta a traves de un volcan  
🗑
PYROCLASTIC FLOW/CORRIENTE PIROCLASTICA   a dense cloud of superheated gases and rock fragments that moves quickly downhill from an erupting volcano/una nube densa de gases sobrecalentados y fragmentos de rocas que desciende rapidamente de un volcan en erupcion.  
🗑
SHIELD VOLCANO   volcano shaped like a broad, flat dome.  
🗑
CINDER CONE VOLCANO   steep, cone-shaped hill formed by the eruption of cinders and other rock fragments that pile up around a single crater.  
🗑
COMPOSITE VOLCANO   cone-shaped volcano built up layers of lava and layers of rock fragments.  
🗑
LAVA FLOWS   lava moves slowly enough that people can move away and not be hurt  
🗑
VOLCANIC ASH   near volcanic eruption, heavy because it is made of tiny pieces of rock.  
🗑
MUDFLOWS   landslides that occur when loose rocks and soil are mixed with water  
🗑
LANDSLIDES   part of a volcano can collapse and start a landslide – a rapid downhill movement of rock and soil; can cause a tsunami  
🗑
STEAM EXPLOSIONS   relatively uncommon, devastating; occurs when magma comes near water or into contact with it.  
🗑
GEYSER/GEISER   a type of hot spring that shoots water into the air/un tipo de fuente termal que dispara agua al aire.  
🗑
DEEP-SEA VENTS   hot springs that form at spreading centers in the ocean.  
🗑
MAGMA   molten or hot liquid rock beneath the earth's surface. Produces crystals when it cools and hardens. Fast cool=small crystals. Slow cool=large crystals  
🗑
CRATER   Found at the top of the volcano; a cuplike depression that surrounds the vent.  
🗑
VENT   centeral opening of a volcano  
🗑
MAGMA CHAMBER   areas where heat builds up or pressure is lowered  
🗑
SILICA   main part of volcanic rock. amount of silica determines how fluid magma is. lots of silica, more fluid  
🗑
CALDERA   a very wide crater formed by the collapse of a volcano/magma chamber  
🗑
MINERAL   single solid element or compound occuring naturally in the earth's crust  
🗑
ROCK   it is a mixture (combination of two or more things) which is naturally formed solid material usually made of minerals  
🗑
ROCK CYCLE   never-ending process by which rocks change from one type to another  
🗑
WEATHERING   the breaking down of rocks into smaller peices by natural processes. 2 kinds: Physical and Chemical  
🗑
EROSION   when running water or wind loosen and carry away fragments of rock  
🗑
SEDIMENT   small, solid pieces of material that come from rocks or living things.  
🗑
SEDIMENTARY ROCK   rocks formed from bits of other rocks, plants, and animals that have settled together and hardened  
🗑
METAMORPHIC ROCK   rock formed when existing rockis changed by extreme heat and pressure  
🗑
IGNEOUS ROCK   rock formed when hot, liquid rock coools and hardens  
🗑
INTRUSIVE IGNEOUS ROCK   igneous rock that is formed when magma hardens beneath the Earth's surface. Ex. granite  
🗑
EXTRUSIVE IGNEOUS ROCK   rock formed from lava that erupted ont Earth's surface  
🗑
