What refers to the formation and growth of crystalline solids from molten rocks?

crystallization

Why is it important to determine the epicenter of an earthquake?

To assess the damage zone so that authorities can rush the support and plan disaster relief accordingly.

In which type of igneous rock do small crystals form?

extrusive igneous rock

Waves generated by earthquakes that travel through and along Earth’s surface

seismic waves

Layer of the earth that is made up of hard, solid rock with soil.

crust

What type of plate boundary is mid-atlantic ridge?

divergent

It is the origin at which the earthquake occurs

focus / hypocenter

Why is Earth’s interior hot?

Heat slowly accumulates from the radioactive decay of uranium, thorium and other radioactive isotopes in Earth’s interior.

It refers to a lowland region that forms where Earth's tectonic plates move apart

rift valley

A fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock

fault

What type of convergent plate boundary is Aleutian island

oceanic-oceanic

What are the two forms of body waves?

primary and secondary

If miners will dig into the Earth in search for precious rocks and minerals, in which layer would be their deepest possible exploration?

crust (5 - 100 km thick)

The recording of the ground shaking at the specific location of the instrument

seismogram

In which type of igneous rock do big crystals form?

intrusive igneous rock

Why do earthquakes occur?

Earthquakes occur due to the interaction of tectonic plates. Their movement generates huge amount of energy that make the ground shake.

These are natural substances composed of solid crystals of different minerals that have been fused together into a solid lump.

rocks

It refers to the point directly above the focus on Earth’s surface

epicenter

Type of scientific research that is also called "pure research"

basic research

It is a direct hazard that can cause secondary hazards.

groundshaking

What type of rock is granite?

igneous

Type of scientific research that applies basic research toward more practical endeavors, such as solving everyday problems.

applied research

What type of rock is marble?

metamorphic

State the difference between magma and lava

Magma is a molten rock that is underground while lava is a molten rock that breaks through the Earth's surface.

What are the two types of seismic waves?

body and surface

It is the main cause of destruction during an earthquake.

groundshaking

What is the full name of British physicist who first mathematically demonstrated the existence of rayleigh wave?

Lord Rayleigh

What are the two forms of surface waves

love and rayleigh

Give at least 10 essential things that should be in an emergency kit.

Flashlight, extra batteries, radio, local maps, food, water, whistle, dust mask, garbage bags, can opener, survival kit, first aid kit, toiletries, phone

What type of convergent plate boundary is the Alps?

continental-continental

What type of wave that is also known as “compressional wave”

primary wave

Give three examples of secondary hazards

tsunami, landslide, fire

It refers to the long, narrow depressions on the seafloor

oceanic trench

What type of rock is schist ?

metamorphic

What do you call an underground mountain range formation on the sea floor?

oceanic ridge

What type of wave generates an up-and-down and ocean wave-like movement?

rayleigh wave

What type of convergent plate boundary is Mariana trench?

oceanic-oceanic

Type of wave that can travel through solid and fluid materials

primary wave

What type of rock is slate?

metamorphic

Does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at the subduction zone? Why or why not?

Yes, because oceanic crust has a greater density.

What do you call the solid inorganic substances of natural occurrence that form rocks?

minerals

What type of wave can travel through solid materials only?

secondary wave

What type of rock is limestone?

sedimentary

The internal part of the seismograph, which may be a pendulum or a mass mounted on a spring

seismometer

Give the 3 main types of scientific research based on where it is conducted.

laboratory research , library research, and field research

What type of rock is produced when an original rock is subjected to very high heat and pressure?

metamorphic rocks

Explain the process of rock cycle

weathering and erosion > transportation > deposition > compaction and cementation > metamorphism > rock melting

What type of convergent plate boundary is Sierra Madre?

continental-continental

It is called as the sudden movement or shaking of the ground.

earthquake

It is the instrument used to record the motion of the ground during an earthquake

seismograph

Give the 3 main types of scientific research

basic, applied, research & development

What type of plate boundary is San Andreas Fault?

transformed

Type of scientific research that aims to create new information that can improve the quality of material.

research and development

What is the difference between body and surface waves?

Body waves can travel through the Earth's inner layers, while surface waves occur on the surface of the lithosphere.

What type of wave generates a snake-like movement?

love wave

What type of plate boundary is Appalachian?
