FINAL
EQs/Volcanoes 100
What is a sudden release of
pressure in Earth’s crust that
results in the ground shaking
called?
Answer: an earthquake
EQs/Volcanoes 200
True or False: Earthquakes are
equally likely in all parts of the
world.
Answer: false
EQs/Volcanoes 300
What is the difference between magma
and lava?
Answer: magma is liquid rock
underground and lava is above
ground.
EQs/Volcanoes 400
What was the magnitude of the
largest earthquake in recorded
history?
Answer: 9.5
EQs/Volcanoes 500
What are two factors that influence
the viscosity of magma?
Answer: silicates, temperature,
location (continental or oceanic
crust)
Events 100
What is an example of an
earthquake where there weren’t
many deaths?
Answer: varies (nisqually)
Events 200
What is an example of an earthquake
that caused over 100,000 deaths?
Answer: Sumatra, Shaanxi,
Tangshan, Gansu
Events 300
What is an example of an earthquake where
lives could have been saved by building
codes?
Answer: Kobe, Izmit, Haiti
Events 400
Why were the eruptions of Mt. St
Helens and Mt. Pinatubo in the
Philippines considered successful
by scientists?
Answer: They were predicted and
many lives were saved as a result.
Events 500
What happened to the island of Thera
(Santorini Greece) that started the
legend of the lost city of Atlantis?
Answer: It blew up in an eruption
and was covered by the sea in the
subsequent tsunamis.
Plate Tectonics 100
What are the two types of tectonic
plates?
Answer: oceanic and continental
Plate Tectonics 200
What drives tectonic plate
motion? Draw a picture to show
what is happening.
Answer: convection in the mantle
Plate Tectonics 300
Where do nearly all major
earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
Answer: along tectonic plate
boundaries
Plate Tectonics 400
Question: What are the 3 types of
tectonic boundaries?
Answer: convergent, divergent,
transform
Plate Tectonics 500
What are the 3 types of
convergent boundaries?
Answer: continental-continental,
continental–oceanic, oceanic-oceanic
Tectonic Boundaries 100
Draw a picture of a convergent
boundary (with arrows!)
Answer:
Tectonic Boundaries 200
Draw a picture of one plate
subducting beneath another.
Answer:
DAILY DOUBLE - Tectonic
Boundaries 300
Which type of tectonic boundary
caused the cascade mountain
range?
Answer: convergent (oceaniccontinental)
Tectonic Boundaries 400
What tectonic activity is causing
the Himalayan mountains? (Mt.
Everest)
Answer: Convergent boundary.
Continental-continental collision
Tectonic Boundaries 500
Look at the
map. Name
one type of
boundary
and what is
happening
between the
plates
involved.
The Rock Cycle 100
Which type of rock is formed
from the cooling of magma or
lava?
Answer: igneous
The Rock Cycle 200
Which type of rock is formed by
compaction and cementation of
sediment under large bodies of water?
Answer: sedimentary
The Rock Cycle 300
What has to occur for a
sedimentary rock to become an
igneous rock?
Answer: it has to be melted and then
cooled into an igneous rock.
The Rock Cycle 400
What has to happen for an
igneous rock to become a
metamorphic rock?
Answer: It has to undergo high
temperature and pressure.
The Rock Cycle 500
What has to happen for an igneous rock
or a metamorphic rock to become a
sedimentary rock?
Answer: weathered and eroded into
sediment, deposited into large body of
water and compacted/cemented into
sedimentary rock.
