2. What is a “Geochronology” Vocab for 100 Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Study of the age of the earth

3. What is Basalt Vocab for 200 Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Type of rock that when heat is applied, melts into flowing lava

4. The name of the first waves felt in an earthquake that squeeze and stretch Vocab for 300 Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Primary waves

5. Vocab for 400 The official name for the study of earthquake activity Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Seismology

6. Vocab for 500 The name of all the smaller quakes that follow the main earthquake Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Aftershocks

7. Volcano for 100 Yellowstone is considered a…. Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Supervolcano

8. Volcano for 200 The top outer-edge of the volcano is called… Push the Space Bar to check your answer. The Caldera

9. Volcano for 300 How does puke, toilet water and diarrhea have to do with volcanoes Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Puke = Pyroclastic flows, when it hits water = Lahar, (both from a composite volvano) and a shield volcano is the earth’s diarrhea

10. Volcano for 400 Volcanic openings under the ocean that belch out black “smoke” are called… Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Black Smokers

11. Volcano for 500 What type of rock is usually involved with composite volcanoes Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Granite

12. Plate Boundary for 100 Seismic characteristics of a sub-duction zone Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Shallow and deep earthquakes along one side of the plate bound

13. Plate Boundary for 200 Volcanic characteristics of a subduction zone Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Tall narrow volcanic mountain range

14. Plate Boundary for 300 Seismic characteristics of a divergent zone Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Shallow consistent pattern of earthquakes evenly distributed between the plate boundary

15. Plate Boundary for 400 Continent to Continent convergence produces what type of volcanic activity Push the Space Bar to check your answer. It produces no volcanic activity

16. Plate Boundary for 500 When the seafloor spreading is wider in one divergent zone vs. another, what does this indicate Push the Space Bar to check your answer. The plates are spreading faster where its wider

17. Myths and Engines for 100 Lunar….? Push the Space Bar to check your answer. The moon is what makes the plates move

18. Myths and Engines for 200 The Hawaiian goddess thought responsible for volcanoes Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Pelee

19. Myths and Engines for 300 How does the difference in Density of the Earth explain how the plates move? Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Difference in density between the lithosphere and mantle pulls the plate down to melt it

20. Myths and Engines for 400 Explain Mantle Convection Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Warmer material moves to the surface and cooler material moves towards the core (think convection oven)

21. Myths and Engines for 500 How does centrifugal pull explain plate movement? Push the Space Bar to check your answer. The rotational velocity of the Earth spinning forces the plates to move

22. Misc for 100 What was Pangaea Push the Space Bar to check your answer. All land masses were one

23. Misc for 200 What does the Richter Scale measure Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Scale used to determine earthquake force

24. Misc for 300 Types of volcanoes in a sub-duction zone Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Explosive composite volcanoes

25. Misc for 400 What is vertical displacement, what is horizontal displacement Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Vertical = change in elevation of one or both blocks involved in the quake. Horizontal = a change in location on a flat plane ( move further north or south, but no elevation change)

26. Misc for 500 What is “one engine theory” Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Movement of the plates is caused by magma welling up at divergent plate boundaries.

27. FINAL JEOPARDY Push the Space Bar to check your answer. Loma Prieta Earthquake What are the 4 (geochronology, Seismology, Geography, and Volcanology) aspects of a divergent plate boundry Geochronolgy = young sea floor earth Seismology = shallow consisitant earthquakes on both sides of the plate boundary Geography = short wide mountain ranges and rift valley’s Volcanology = blacksmokers (water) volcanoes in basalt areas.
