Volcano and earthqua
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Sheild | gradually slopping sides continue lave flow not explosive |
| cinder cone | hill-shaped with a bowl-like crater |
| composite cone | large symmetrical cone-shaped; layers of lava and tephra often explosive |
| Hawaiian | quiet, runny lava; little or no cinder, ash, or steam |
| Vulcanian | Violent, loud explosion of lava, ashes, cinders, and gases |
| pelean | avalanche of red hot dust and gases; pyroclastic flow |
| Plinian | most powerful eruption, spewing lava, gases, and dust into the atmosphere |
| where is the RING OF FIRE | around the pacific ocean |
| scientists who study volcaneos | volcanologists |
| avalanche-like emission of red-hot dust and gases | pyroclastic flow |

| a volcano that has not erupted in the past and is not expected to erupted in the future | extinct |
| a volcano that is expected to erupt | Active |
| A volcano that has erupted in the past and is, is currently inactive, and is not expected to erupt again | Dorment |
| What is the inside of the volcano | vent |

| what is the thing that is of the side of the volcano | side vent |
| what comes out of the volcano | lava |
| where does all the lava/magma come from | magma chamber |
| how does a volcano form | tectonic plates move causing the magma chamber to rise to the surface of the earth causing it to explode |

| shift or movement in the earths crust | Earthquake |
| True or false Earthquakes always begin on the surface of the earth | false |
| True or false Man can do nothing to change the earth to cause an earthquake | false |
| true or false Most earthquakes last from 10-20 minutes | false |
| true or false The outer core of the earths is located between the mantle and inner core | true |
| True or false The lithosphere is made up of the crust and upper mantle | true |
| true or false The ring of fire has more earthquakes and volcanos then other ares | true |
| true or false Heat and pressure under earths crust can lead to tectonic plate movment | true |
| where is the lithosphere locatd | the crust and upper mantle of the earth |
| scale based on the amount af destruction earthquake causes | mercalli scale |

| theory of plate tectonics | the idea that the crust of the earth is actually many large peices moving on the upper area of the earth |
| pangaea | the belief that the earth was onse one large land mass |
| waves of energy sent out from the beginniing of the earthquake | earthquake waves |
| vibration flowing out from the focus of the earthquake; movement is in all directions from the center | seismic waves |
| seismic waves that accur beneath the surface of the earth | body waaves |
| p and s waves that reach the surface of the earth; slow moveing and very destructive | surfaces waves |
