---|---|---|---|---|---|
Continental Shield | show 🗑
|
||||
show | A migrating piece of Earth's crust, dragged about by processes of mantle convection and plate tectonics
🗑
|
||||
show | The bending and deformation of beds of rock strata subjected to compression forces
🗑
|
||||
Anticline | show 🗑
|
||||
Syncline | show 🗑
|
||||
show | A state of equilibrium in Earth's crust formed by the interplay between portions of the less-dense lithosphere and the more-dense asthenosphere and the principal of buoyancy
🗑
|
||||
Faulting | show 🗑
|
||||
show | A type of geologic fault in rocks. Tension produces strain that breaks a rock, with one side moving vertically relative to the other side along an inclined fault plane
🗑
|
||||
Reverse Fault | show 🗑
|
||||
Thrust Fault | show 🗑
|
||||
Slip-Strike Fault | show 🗑
|
||||
show | Upward-faulted blocks produced by pairs or groups of faults [two blocks push a middle one up]
🗑
|
||||
Graben | show 🗑
|
||||
show | The process of mountain building that occurs when large-scale compression leads to deformation and uplift of crust
🗑
|
||||
show | A sharp release of energy that sends waves travelling through Earth's crust at the movement of rupture along a fault or in association with volcanic activity
🗑
|
||||
Megathrust Earthquake | show 🗑
|
||||
show | An explanation for how energy is released during an earthquake. Two sides of a fault rupture suddenly due to accumulating stress, snapping to new positions relative to each other
🗑
|
||||
show | An instrument used to detect and record the ground motion during an earthquake
🗑
|
||||
Focus | show 🗑
|
||||
show | The location on Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake
🗑
|
||||
Foreshock | show 🗑
|
||||
Aftershock | show 🗑
|
||||
show | An open-ended, logarithmic scale that estimates earthquake amplitude by the energy released, using seismographs
🗑
|
||||
show | The process whereby ground shaking, usually from an earthquake, disrupts and loosens the structure of the soil, causing it to flow
🗑
|
||||
Moment Magnitude Scale | show 🗑
|
||||
show | A seismic sea wave, travelling at high speeds across the ocean, formed by sudden motion in the seafloor (seismic wave, etc)
🗑
|
||||
Volcano | show 🗑
|
||||
show | Resistance to flow [thickness]
🗑
|
||||
Pyroclastic | show 🗑
|
||||
Pahoehoe | show 🗑
|
||||
Cinder Cone | show 🗑
|
||||
show | An interior sunken portion of a composite volcano's crater; usually steep-sided and circular, sometimes containing a lake
🗑
|
||||
Effusive Eruption | show 🗑
|
||||
Shield Volcano | show 🗑
|
||||
Flood Basalts | show 🗑
|
||||
show | A violent and explosive volcanic eruption as a result of thicker, stickier magma
🗑
|
||||
show | A volcano formed by a sequence of explosive volcanic eruptions; steep-sided, conical in shape
🗑
