5 Matching Questions

  1. dome volcano
  2. dormant volcano
  3. caldera
  4. secondary effect
  5. cinder volcano
  1. a (geology) earthquake effects that result when ground movement causes other types of damage, such as landslides, flooding caused by subsidence of land, tsunamis, liquefaction and fire
  2. b thick lava flows; dome shaped mountain
  3. c a steep, cone-shaped hill or small mountain made of volcanic ash, cinders, and bombs piled up around a volcano's opening
  4. d a volcano that has not erupted for a long time, but may erupt again one day
  5. e a large crater caused by the violent explosion of a volcano that collapses into a depression

5 Multiple Choice Questions

  1. the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake
  2. wave which causes rock particles to move in a backward rolling and side to side swaying motion, this is the most destructive earthquake wave
  3. a type of volcano that has a wide base and gently sloping sides; eruptions are quieter and tend to have gentle lava flows.
  4. a fissure in the earth's crust (or in the surface of some other planet) through which molten lava and gases erupt
  5. a hot, high-velocity mixture of ash, gas and fragmented rock that flows like a liquid down slopes and over terrain

5 True/False Questions

  1. strato volcano (composite volcano)conical, steep-side, symmetrical volcano (ratio of height to breadth relatively large) composed of alternating layers of silicic lavas and pyroclastics. Typical of subduction zone volcanism.

          

  2. primary effect(geology) permanent features produced by earthquake, such as fault scarps, surface ruptures, and offsets of natural or human-constructed objects

          

  3. conduita fissure in the earth's crust (or in the surface of some other planet) through which molten lava and gases erupt

          

  4. focusthe point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs

          

  5. Richter scaleA low, steep-sided cone of spatter built up on a fissure or vent
