marks on the downhill side and indicates a decrease in elevation

Answer 11

closed depression

Question 12

shows the direction of the map

Answer 12

north arrow

Question 13

is a diagrammatic representation of the earth surface, drawn to scale

Answer 13

map

Question 14

force that causes deformation on rock

Answer 14

stress

Question 15

stress that causes rocks to squeeze together

Answer 15

compressional stress, produces reverse faults

Question 16

This stress is present when a body of rock is pulled apart.

Answer 16

tensional stress, produces normal faults

Question 17

is a change in shape
or volume of the rock as a response to the stress

Answer 17

strain

Question 18

The strain or deformation can
either be:

Answer 18

elastic, brittle, ductile

Question 19

amount of stress on the rock is small or when it
is applied gradually

Answer 19

elastic

Question 20

occurs when the strength of the rock is exceeded

Answer 20

brittle deformation

Question 21

This results to
stretching, bending, or folding of the rock without breaking.

Answer 21

ductile deformation

Question 22

rocks near the surface are _____ and experience lesser confining
pressure than the rocks which are buried deeper

Answer 22

cooler

Question 23

Brittle deformation forms _______ which is created when the
stress exceeds the strength of the rock thereby breaking or fracturing it.

Answer 23

faults

Question 24

Ductile
deformation, on the other hand, creates structures called ______ which are bends in
rocks formed as a response to compressional forces.

Answer 24

folds

Question 25

The hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall. This commonly occurs in divergent boundaries where rocks experience tensional stress.

Answer 25

normal fault

Question 26

The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall. This usually occurs in convergent plate boundaries where rocks undergo compressional stress.

Answer 26

reverse fault

Question 27

is a reverse fault in which the angle of inclination with respect to the surface (also called dip) is relatively low, less than 45 degrees

Answer 27

thrust fault

Question 28

are shaped like an arch, much like a stack of bowls turned upside down. These folds are usually formed by upfolding of sedimentary rock layers.

Answer 28

anticline, The oldest rocks are also found in the center.

Question 29

form when the compressional stress folds the rock layers downward, causing the youngest rock to be found at the center

Answer 29

syncline

Question 30

are simple folds, involving only slight bends in one side of rock layers and the older layers still remain at the bottom and the younger ones on top.

Answer 30

monocline

Question 31

what are volcanic earthquakes?

Answer 31

Earthquakes caused by movement of magma under the volcanoes or magma fissures

Question 32

what are tectonic earthquakes

Answer 32

are usually created by movement of faults or plates.

Question 33

Seismic waves that pass through the Earth’s interior are called

Answer 33

body waves (e.g. primary waves, secondary waves)

Question 34

are seismic waves that travel on the surface.

Answer 34

surface waves (Rayleigh wave, love waves)
