| #1 | The crust and upper mantle | Lithosphere |
| #2 | The idea that the earth's crust is made of moving plates of land | Theory of Plate Tectonics |
| #3 | Measures the earthquake's magnitude | Richter Scale |
| #4 | Detects, times, and measures the movements of the earth | Seismograph |
| #5 | Breaks in the earth's crust where rocks can move | Faults |
| Effects of Volcanoes | ||
| #1 | Occurs where water is heated by hot magma | Hot Springs |
| #2 | Occurs when part of a mountain collapses, causing mud and rock fragments to surge down the mountain | Debris Flow |
| #3 | An avalanche-like emission of red-hot dust and gases from a volcanic eruption | Pyroclastic Flow |
| #4 | Magma that breaks through the earth's surface | Lava |
| #5 | Area around the Pacific Ocean where many volcanoes and earthquakes occur | Ring of Fire |
| Types of Volcanoes | ||
| #1 | Volcanic Fog | Vog |
| #2 | Which volcano is expected to erupt again within the next five years and has a bowl-like crater at its top? | Active, Cinder-cone |
| #3 | Which volcano is presently inactive and seems to be layered, showing that different types of lava flows have happened in the past? | Dormant, Composite-Cone |
| #4 | Which volcano has mild eruptions and is gradually sloping with a continuous flow of lava? | Active, Shield |
| #5 | What causes a volcano to erupt | Heated magma rising to the surface; a hot spot |
| Earthquake Terms | ||
| #1 | Occurs when rocks move horizontally past each other | Strike-slip Fault |
| #2 | Occurs when rocks push together, forcing a section of rock upward | Reverse Fault |
| #3 | Occurs when rocks move apart, forming a gap | Normal Fault |
| #4 | The point on the earth's surface directly above the focus | Epicenter |
| #5 | What causes an earthquake? | Molten Rock moves under vocano; Build-up and release of energy along a fault line; Large amounts of earth are removed or added to an area |
| Earthquake Waves | ||
| #1 | Vibrations of energy that flow from the focus of an earthquake | Seismic Waves |
| #2 | Fast-moving waves that occur beneath the surface of the earth | Body Waves |
| #3 | Slow, destructive waves that occur on the earth's surface | Surface Waves |
| #4 | The beginning point of an earthquake | Focus |
| #5 | The strength of the seismic waves | Magnitude |
