19. A. Seismic Waves

20. Does North Carolina have any major Earthquakes? Explain your answer.

21. No it doesn’t have any major Earthquakes because, it is not close to any major fault lines.

22. What is an opening in the Earth’s crust through which molten rock, rock fragments, and heated gases erupt?

25. 1. Magma (below) 2. Lava (above)

26. What are 3 kinds of Volcanoes?

27. 1. Shield 2. Cinder Cone 3.Composite

28. What is the name of where most of the world’s active volcanoes are located?

29. RING OF FIRE

30. Daily Double

31. What are three immediate effects from an erupting Volcano?

32. 1. Pycroclastic Flow 2. Lava Flow 3. Ash falling 4. Mudslides 5. Landslides

50. Collapsing structures and Fires

51. Explain what a Hot Spot is and what is capable of making.

52. A Hot Spot is an area where a column of hot material rises from deep within a plant’s mantle and heat s the lithosphere above it, often causing volcanic activity at the surface. This is how HAWAII was formed.
