Boundary between tectonic plates that slide paste one another
11
Category: Earthquakes
What are the two types of body waves called?
P waves-primary waves

12
Category: Earthquakes
Where would you find both the focus and the epicenter when analyzing an earthquake?
Focus-the point in Earth’s interior where an earthquake begins
Epicenter-the point on Earth’s surface, directly above the earthquake’s starting point
13
Category: Deformation
What kind of fault is created from convergent motion?
Reverse Fault
14
Category: Volcanoes
How is a shield volcano formed?
Layers of lava from non-explosive eruptions
15
Category: Plate Tectonics
What is the name given to the type of movement when one plate goes under
another?
Subduction
16
Category: Map Reading
What is another name given to lines of longitude?
Meridians
17
Category: Weathering
Ice wedging occurs because water is unique in how it responds to freezing,
what is that unique trait of water?
It expands when it freezes before it contracts
18
In what type of climate would you find the slowest chemical weathering rates?
Category: Weathering
Cold, dry climates
19
Category: Deformation
What is a break in the Earth’s crust called?
A fault
20
Category: Deformation
_____________ occurs when an object is stretched.
Tension
21
Category: Deformation
What word could be used to describe an anticline?
