Seismic Movement 100
When the earth ruptures and
suddenly releases energy
What is an earthquake?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Seismic Movement 200
Waves generated by an earthquake.
What are seismic waves?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Seismic Movement 300
First seismic wave to reach a
seismograph station.
What is a primary or p -wave?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Seismic Movement 400
Seismic body waves that move
side to side.
What are secondary or s - waves?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Seismic Movement 500
Waves that travels on or near the surface
of the earth. These waves can cause
extensive damage to buildings.
What are surface waves?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Locating an Earthquake 100
Location where an earthquake
occurs and energy is released.
What is the focus?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Locating an Earthquake 200
The point on the surface of the
earth directly above the focus of
an earthquake.
What is the epicenter?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Locating an Earthquake 300
Scientists use data recorded from
______________ to figure out where
an earthquake occurred.
What are seismograph stations?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Locating an Earthquake 400
The term used to describe how
three seismograph stations are
used to determine an epicenter .
What is triangulation?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Locating an Earthquake 500
The reason three seismograph stations
are used to triangulate an earthquake.
What is accuracy? Three locations
are needed to find ONE intersecting
point. (circle lab)

Down Under! 100
The place where plates meet.
What is a plate boundary?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Down Under! 200
A warmer less dense plate.
What is a continental plate?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Down Under! 300
This dense plate sinks and slides
under the continental plate.
What is an oceanic plate?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Down Under 400
Plates float on a flowing, taffy-like, solid
upper mantle called _________.
What is the asthenosphere?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Down Under! 500
A trench or deep valley is formed.
What is when an oceanic plate moves
under another plate ?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Convection Within 100
When heat moves through liquid
or gas.
What is convection?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Convection Within 200
The core of the earth heats this
substance causing a convection cell
to occur.
What is magma?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
DAILY DOUBLE - Convection
Within 300
The layer in the earth where a
convection cell is located.
What is the mantle?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Convection Within 400
Magma begins to cool as it rises and
comes in contact with this layer of the
earth.
What is the crust OR rigid mantle
OR Lithosphere?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Convection Within 500
The liquid outer core of the earth
is made from this element.
What is iron?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Faults and Boundaries 100
A fracture in rock, along which rock on
opposite sides of the fracture move.
What is a fault?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Faults and Boundaries 200
Place where broken pieces of the
lithosphere meet.
What is a plate boundary?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Faults and Boundaries 300
A theory that plates float on the asthenosphere and
that interactions among the plates are related to
earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What is plate tectonics?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Faults and Boundaries 400
Faults only exist along plate
boundaries.
(true or false)
What is FALSE?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
Faults and Boundaries 500
A mountain like landform that
develops when plates separate and
new ocean lithosphere is formed.
What is a mid-ocean ridge?
Template created by Theresa Meyer
