Earth Structure And Processes

Front 1

Seismic wave

Back 1

An energy wave cause by an earthquake.

Hint 1

Front 2

Primary wave

Back 2

Waves goes through the crust, mantle, outer core, and the inner core. Can go through solid and liquid.

Hint 2

Front 3

Secondary wave

Back 3

Waves only go through the crust and the mantle and cannot go through liquid.

Hint 3

Front 4

Surface wave

Back 4

When primary waves and secondary waves reach the surface.

Hint 4

Front 5

Density

Back 5

How much mass per volume.

Hint 5

Front 6

Tension

Back 6

It creates a normal fault in an earthquake.

Hint 6

Front 7

Compression

Back 7

It creates a reverse fault in an earthquake.

Hint 7

Front 8

Shearing

Back 8

It creates a strike-slip fault in an earthquake.

Hint 8

Front 9

Reverse fault

Back 9

It happens when it's pushed together from an earthquake.

Hint 9

Front 10

Normal fault

Back 10

It happens when it's pulled apart from an earthquake.

Hint 10

Front 11

Strike-slip fault

Back 11

It happens when it's pushed together and pulled apart from an earthquake.

Hint 11

Front 12

Fault block mountains

Back 12

It is formed from tension which happens from an earthquake.

Hint 12

Front 13

Folded mountains

Back 13

It is formed from compression which happens from an earthquake.

Hint 13

Front 14

Ring of fire

Back 14

Area in the Pacific Ocean where volcanoes are common.

Hint 14

Front 15

Lithosphere

Back 15

Is a crust and the top of the mantle.

Hint 15

Front 16

Continental Drift

Back 16

The continental drift is when the continents move and spread what it is like today.

Hint 16

Front 17

Plate Tectonics

Back 17

It makes earthquakes, makes volcanoes, and it floats on the upper part of the mantle called the asthenosphere.

Hint 17

Front 18

Pangea

Back 18

It used to be one big continent called Pangea.

Hint 18

Front 19

Lithospheric Plates

Back 19

Plate tectonics explains why and how the large sections of the earths crust move.

Hint 19

Front 20

Convection Currents

Back 20

Are currents that moves the plate tectonics

Hint 20

Front 21

Divergent Boundary

Back 21

It creates earthquake and volcanoes, the lithosphere is formed, and it's in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Hint 21

Front 22

Seafloor Speading

Back 22

It is when magma under water spreads across the floor to make new layer of the floor.

Hint 22

Front 23

Convergent Boundary

Back 23

Creates earthquake, volcanoes, mountain formation,the lithosphere is destroyed, and it's in the Himalayas.

Hint 23

Front 24

Subduction Zones

Back 24

It is created from the convergent boundary, either from oceanic to continental or oceanic to oceanic.

Hint 24

Front 25

Transform Boundary

Back 25

It creates earthquake, the lithosphere neither happens to it, and it's in the Himalayas.

Hint 25

Front 26

Focus

Back 26

It is where the earthquake starts underground.

Hint 26

Front 27

Epicenter

Back 27

It will receive the most waves from the earthqukes.

Hint 27

Front 28

Triangulation

Back 28

It is a prediction where the earthquake will be at.

Hint 28

Front 29

Seismograph

Back 29

It is a piece of equipment of a ball that swings from earthquakes and it will show you how strong the earthquake is.

Hint 29

Front 30

Seismogram

Back 30

It is a recording of the earthquakes to see how strong the earthquake is.
