|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Continental Shield | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A migrating piece of Earth's crust, dragged about by processes of mantle convection and plate tectonics
🗑
|
||||
| Folding | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | An arch-shaped, upwards fold in which rock strata slope down from the central ridge of the fold
🗑
|
||||
| show | A trough-shaped downward fold in which the rock strata slope towards the central axis of the fold (think 'sink')
🗑
|
||||
| Isostacy | show 🗑
|
||||
| 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
🗑
|
||||
| show | Compressional forces produce strain that breaks a rock so that one side moves upward relative to the other side
🗑
|
||||
| Thrust Fault | show 🗑
|
||||
| Slip-Strike Fault | show 🗑
|
||||
| Horst | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Downward-faulted blocks produced by pairs of groups of faults [two blocks push a middle one down]
🗑
|
||||
| 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
🗑
|
||||
| show | The most powerful earthquakes on Earth; occurs along a subduction zone
🗑
|
||||
| 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
🗑
|
||||
| Seismometer | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The location below the Earth's surface where the motion of seismic waves that cause an earthquake begins
🗑
|
||||
| Epicentre | show 🗑
|
||||
| Foreshock | show 🗑
|
||||
| Aftershock | show 🗑
|
||||
| Richter Scale | show 🗑
|
||||
| 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 🗑
|
||||
| Tsunami | show 🗑
|
||||
| Volcano | show 🗑
|
||||
| Viscosity | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | An explosively ejected rock fragment launched by a volcanic eruption
🗑
|
||||
| Pahoehoe | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A volcanic landform of pyroclastics and volcanic rock, usually small and cone shaped
🗑
|
||||
| Caldera | show 🗑
|
||||
| Effusive Eruption | show 🗑
|
||||
| Shield Volcano | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A type of effusive eruption that occurs when magma flows out from elongated fissures onto the surface and cools into extensive sheets of basaltic lava
🗑
|
||||
| Explosive Eruptions | show 🗑
|
||||
| Composite Volcano | show 🗑
