What is an earthquake
Difficult to predict and common near plate boundaries
100
What is a volcano?
A place where magma is or has erupted
100
What are physical and chemical
The two types of weathering

What is the Continental Drift Theory
Fit of continents, paleo-magnetism, and fossils on different continents are all examples of this theory
200
What is the focus
The part underground where an earthquake begins
200
What is a dormant volcano?
A volcano that is active, not erupting, but supposed to erupt again
200
What is physical weathering
Ice wedging is caused by this type of weathering
300
What are convection currents
Causes the movement of lithospheric plates
300
What is a convergent boundary
Folded mountains, volcanic mountains, and oceanic trenches are all example of this boundary
300
What is the doorway
Where we have the most safety in a room during an earthquake
300
What is the ring of fire?
Area with the most volcanic activity
300
What is chemical weathering
A marble statue that has been broken down by acid rain is caused by this type of weathering
400
What is a divergent boundary
Boundary where North American plate meets Eurasian Plate
400
What is a divergent boundary
Seafloor Spreading causes this boundary
400
What is a surface wave
Wave that generally causes the most damage during an earthquake
400
What is a hot spot
The cause of the formation of the Hawaiian Islands
400
What is weathering
Wind, water, and ice are all examples

What is a convergent boundary
Boundary where Nazca plate meets South American plate
500
What is evidence that Antarctica was once near the equator
Fossils of tropical plants have been found in Antarctica
500
What are P and S waves
Two waves scientists plot the difference of arrival times between to determine how far away an earthquake was
500
What is a transform boundary
Ocean Ridges are caused by this boundary
500
What are caves?
Created by carbonic acid and tend to house bats
