Boundaries Magma volcanoes Random seismic waves and faults
100
Where is the youngest sea floor loacated?
adjacent to the rift or mid Atlantic ridge.
100
What type of magma has low levels of silica?
basaltic or mafic
100
What type of plate collision has only earthquakes but not volcanoes?
continent-continent convergence
100
What is a hotspot?
when plates move and a heat source stays stationary and forms new volcanoes
100
What type of seismic wave causes the most damage?
L waves, or surface waves
200
At a Covergent boundary where there is a continental/continental collision, what forms?
Mountain Ranges
200
What type of magma forms shield volcanoes?
basaltic or mafic
200
What type of volcano is the least explosive?
Shield
200
What is used to find the distance to the epicenter?
difference in arrival times of p and s waves
200
What type of seismic waves arrives at the seismic station first?
p waves (primary waves)
300
At a convergent boundary where there is a continental/oceanic collison what forms?
explosive composite volcanoes
300
What happens to viscosity as the amount of silica in magma increases?
viscosity increases
300
What type of volcano is the most explosive
composite volcanoes
300
Where are 3 places that earthquakes are most likely to occur?
Ring of Fire, Hmalayan collision zone, and mid-Atlantic ridge
300
Which type of fault is caused by conpressional stress and moves a block upward
Reverse fault
400
At a convergent boundary where there is a oceanic/oceanic collison, what forms?

400
What type of fault that moves vertically and is caused by tensional stress and forms fault block mountains?
normal fault
500
What type of boundary forms the volcanoes in the pacific northwest?
convergent
500
What type of magma would produce sheild volcanoes?

epicenter
500
Which type of fault is caused by shear stress and only has horizontal movement?
strike slip fault
