|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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
🗑
