STANDARD 3 MODULE 7 Objective 4 Compare rapid and gradual changes to Earth’s surface. A. Describe how energy from the Earth's interior causes changes to Earth’s surface (i.e., earthquakes, volcanoes). B. Describe how earthquakes and volcanoes transfer energy from Earth's interior to the surface (e.g., seismic waves transfer mechanical energy, flowing magma transfers heat and mechanical energy). C. Model the process of energy buildup and release in earthquakes. Vocabulary: Eruption: A volcanic process where hot lava is extruded onto the Earth’s surface. Earthquake: What is felt on the surface of the Earth after two stuck plates release stored energy. Seismic wave: The mechanical wave released from two tectonic plates rupturing. Mechanical energy: Energy of motion. a synonym for kinetic energy Potential mechanical energy: Mechanical energy that is stored and can be released Magma chamber: A huge glob-like mass of molten rock inside the earth. Plate tectonics: The idea that huge plates in the lithosphere float around on the asthenosphere Convection current/cell: The cyclic rising and falling of molted rock that makes tectonic plates move Convergent plate boundary: Two tectonic plates coming together Transverse plate boundary: Two tectonic plates that slide past each other Divergent plate boundary: Two plates that move away from each other.
