I am
the force that will deform rock.
I am
the area in which a rock breaks.
I am
the stress that squeezes rock layers together.
I am
Stress that stretches rock layers apart.
I am
Stress that causes the rock layers to slide by
each other.
I am
the fault that is caused by compression stress.
I am
the fault that is caused by tension stress.
I am
the fault that is caused by shear stress.
I am
energy that moves outward, in every direction,
from the center of an earthquake.
I am
the type of seismic waves that move through
the ground in a back and forth motion.
I am
A seismic wave that moves through the
ground in an up and down motion.
I am
A type of seismic wave that moves on top of
the ground in a rolling motion.
I am
the point on the earth’s surface directly above
the earthquake center.
I am
the center point of an earthquake.
I am
an earthquake generated ocean wave.
I am
the area in which magma rises to the surface,
cracks it and pushes plates apart. The magma
flows out of the cracks and forms a volcano.
I am
the area in which plates collide and the more
dense plate is forced to sink and melt.
I am
the volcanic zone that is caused by areas of
the mantle that are warmer than other areas.
I am
the magma that forms dark colored rock when
it cools. It has a low viscosity and does not
erupt violently.
I am
the magma that forms light colored rock when
it cools. It has a high viscosity and is very
explosive.
I am
the ability of a substance to flow or the silica
content of magma .
I am
a broad volcano with gently sloping sides, built
by nonviolent eruptions of basaltic magma.
I am
a volcano that forms from volcanic material
that is violently erupted and piles up into a
steep sided cone mountain.
I am
a volcano that alternates between violent
tephra eruptions and nonviolent lava
eruptions. Most violently erupting type of
volcano.
I am
hot melted rock above Earth's surface.
I am
an explosive eruption of hot gases, and tephra
that causes huge amounts of destruction.
I am
lava and or other volcanic material that harden
into volcanic ash, cinders, or bombs.
I am
a volcano that is erupting or has shown signs
that it may erupt in the near future.
I am
a "sleeping" volcano that is in an active zone.
This type of volcano can awaken at any time.
I am
a volcano that has very little chance of ever
erupting again.
