| A _______ volcano can still erupt but it is sleeping | Dormant |
| This type of volcano cannot erupt anymore | extinct |
| Where is the ring of fire located | around the edges of the Pacific Plate |
| What is the difference between magma and lava | Magma is below ground and lava is above ground |
| This type of volcano is very wide, but not very tall | Shield |
| This type of volcano is created through non-explosive eruptions | Shield |
| This type of volcano has very steep sides and is very tall | Composite |
| This type of volcano has a combination of both non-explosive and explosive eruptions | cinder cone |
| This type of volcano is made from explosive eruptions | composite |
| _______ are the shaking caused by the sudden release of energy | Earthquakes |
| The type of stress when rocks move in opposite directions | shearing |
| Type of stress when rocks push together | compression |
| type of stress when rocks pull apart | tension |
| When enough stress builds up, the rock breaks and creates a _____ | fault |
| Strike-slip faults are caused by this type of stress | shearing |
| Reverse faults are caused by this type of stress | compression |
| Normal faults are caused by this type of stress | Tension |
| When a rock bends but does not break is called _____(ex. anticline, syncline) | folds |
| How does a hotspot create a chain of volcanoes | As the plate mover over the hotspot the hotspot burns up through the crust and creates volcanoes while the plate is moving |

| What kind of fault occurs when the hanging was moves below the foot wall | normal |
| ________ are caused by tension and created in normal faults | Fault-block Mountains |
| ________ are waves that carry energy that come from earthquakes | seismic waves |
| An instrument that measures and records details of earthquakes, such as force and duration. | seismograph |
