| word/question | definition |
|---|---|
| strike-slip fault | a fault in which surfaces on opposite sides of the fault |
| volcano | an opening in earths crust through which hot gases, rock fragments, and molten rock erupts |
| cinder cone | steep cone shaped mountain |
| dormant | lying asleep or as if asleep |
| shield volcano | layers of hardened lava with wide gently slipping moulten |
| epicenter | the point of the earths surface directly above the focus of an earthquake |
| energy | a stability to make something happen |
| hot spots | area of intence heat, radiation, or activity |
| mantle | thick layer that surrounds the core |
| tsunami | large wave |
| magma | hardened lava |
| fault | breaks in the earths crust where rocks have slipped past each other |
| caldera | huge hole |
| tectonic plates | two sub-layers of the earths crust |
| mid ocean ridge | a series of mountain ranges under water |
| pangaea | a super continent |
| why does melted rock rise | it is hot and heat rises |
| what does the magnitude of an eathquake tell us | the strength of it |
| What is convection? | possession change |
| What type of boundary is the San Andreas fault | Pacific plate and North American plate |
| normal fault | APART-a fault in which the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall-usually occur when tectonic forces cause tension that pulls rocks apart |
| reverse fault | COLIDE-a fault in which the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall - usually happens when tectonic forces cause compression that pushes rocks together |
| strike-slip fault | PAST-faults that occur when opposing forces cause rock to break and move horizontally |
| Where do eathquakes begin? | caused by movement of rocks beneath the earth, shaking and trembling |
| What is the lithosphere? | the section that is above the mantle, crust and upper mantle |
| mid ocean ridge | a long crack in ocean floor |
| magnetic reversal | a flip of the earths magnetic field |
| folded mountains | mountains that form when rock layers are squeezed together and pushed upward |
| fault-block mountains | mountains that form when large blocks of the Earths crust drop down relative to other blocks |
| volcanic mountains | mountains that form when molten rock erupts onto the Earths surface |
| The Appalachian Mountain is an example of __________ | folded mountain |
| air resistance | the force of friction on a vehicle as it moves through the air |
| aerodynamic | able to move through the air with as little air resistance as possible |
| drag | force that opposes the forward movement of a vehicle |
| the central part of the wheel is the ________ | hub |
| energy | the ability to do work or make something happen |
| potential energy | energy that is ready to be released |
| kinetic energy | the energy of motion |
| unbalanced force | unequal force |
| technical drawing | a drawing to build something made by an archatech |
| vehicle | transports anything |
| conclusion | the final answer |
| experiment | a procedure to get an answer |
| gravity | pull to center of earth |
| variable | an element that can be changed |
| friction | force that resists movement between two objects that are touching |
| hypothesis | a prediction about how something workds or how two variables are related |
| axle | a bar or shaft on which a wheel turns |
| transform boundary | is a San Andreas Fault, plates sliding past each other horizontally |
| convergent boundary | collision of two tectonic plates |
| divergent boundary | plates moving away from each other example mid-ocean range |
