5 Matching Questions
- dome volcano
- dormant volcano
- caldera
- secondary effect
- cinder volcano
- 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
- b thick lava flows; dome shaped mountain
- c a steep, cone-shaped hill or small mountain made of volcanic ash, cinders, and bombs piled up around a volcano's opening
- d a volcano that has not erupted for a long time, but may erupt again one day
- e a large crater caused by the violent explosion of a volcano that collapses into a depression
5 Multiple Choice Questions
- the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake
- wave which causes rock particles to move in a backward rolling and side to side swaying motion, this is the most destructive earthquake wave
- a type of volcano that has a wide base and gently sloping sides; eruptions are quieter and tend to have gentle lava flows.
- a fissure in the earth's crust (or in the surface of some other planet) through which molten lava and gases erupt
- 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
-
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.
-
primary effect → (geology) permanent features produced by earthquake, such as fault scarps, surface ruptures, and offsets of natural or human-constructed objects
-
conduit → a fissure in the earth's crust (or in the surface of some other planet) through which molten lava and gases erupt
-
focus → the point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs
-
Richter scale → A low, steep-sided cone of spatter built up on a fissure or vent
