it travels along and within the lithosphere

Answer 5

seismic waves

Question 6

2 types of waves

Answer 6

body waves and surface waves

Question 7

are in the form of primary or secondary waves

Answer 7

body waves

Question 8

they travel through the interior of Earth and through solid and fluid materials.

Answer 8

Primary waves or compressional waves

Question 9

they travel through solid materials only within the interior of Earth

Answer 9

secondary waves or transverse waves

Question 10

they are waves that occur on the surface of the lithosphere

Answer 10

surface waves

Question 11

they sweep the surface in a side-to-side movement

Answer 11

love waves (L-waves)

Question 12

they shake the ground in an up-and-down movement

Answer 12

Rayleigh waves (R-waves)

Question 13

the instrument that detects and measures seismic waves

Answer 13

seismograph

Question 14

the internal part of a seismograph

Answer 14

seismometer

Question 15

it is the quantitative measure of the amount of energy released by an earthquake

Answer 15

magnitude

Question 16

the most common scale for the magnitude of an earthquake

Answer 16

Richter scale

Question 17

it refers to the strength of ground shaking during an earthquake

Answer 17

intensity

Question 18

it is the widely known used scale for identifying earthquake intensity

Answer 18

Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale

Question 19

it should include important things that can be easily used and consumed once an earthquake happens.

Answer 19

emergency kits

Question 20

the process wherein magma escapes from Earth’s interior to form cool and hard rocks

Answer 20

volcanism

Question 21

it is a landform with an opening at its tip

Answer 21

volcano

Question 22

it allows molten magma to flow outside the surface

Answer 22

crater

Question 23

it pertains to magma that has finally reached the surface

Answer 23

lava

Question 24

this is what it’s called when the lava flows on the surface of Earth

Answer 24

extrusive volcanism

Question 25

this is entrapped lava flow that does not reach the surface

Answer 25

intrusive volcanism

Question 26

this is a type of rock wherein lava cools and hardens, and then it becomes rock

Answer 26

igneous rock

Question 27

this is the magma's ability to flow.

Answer 27

viscosity

Question 28

volcanoes that arise from the excretion of magma to the mantle

Answer 28

hotspots

Question 29

two types of lava flow

Answer 29

aa and pahoehoe

Question 30

it exhibits smooth-surfaced characteristics

Answer 30

pahoehoe

Question 31

it is rough and jagged, and is dangerous due to its sharp edges

Answer 31

aa

Question 32

the process of mountain building

Answer 32

orogeny

Question 33

it refers to a large surface feature that rises above its relative

Answer 33

mountain

Question 34

a series of mountain chains

Answer 34

mountain range

Question 35

3 stages of mountain ranges

Answer 35

1.) accumulation of sediments 2.) an orogenic period of rock deformation and crustal uplift 3.) a period of crustal uplift caused by isostatic rebound and block faulting

Question 36

it is a mountain building, whose major features are deep-ocean trenches and volcanic arcs

Answer 36

island arc-type

Question 37

it occurs when two oceanic plates converge, and as the leading plate subducts from the other, the plate piles up, forming volcanic island arcs that consist of igneous and metamorphic rocks

Answer 37

island arc

Question 38

it is caused by the compression of the crust above the other in the collision process

Answer 38

continental volcanic arc

Question 39

this type of mountain building occurs along continental plate boundaries

Answer 39

andean-type

Question 40

is a fracture between two blocks of rock

Answer 40

fault

Question 41

it is defined as the slope or inclination of any geological surface

Answer 41

dip

Question 42

it is any horizontal line that is drawn on the sloping surface

Answer 42

strike

Question 43

it is any rock that falls above the fault line

Answer 43

hanging wall

Question 44

it is the one that falls under the fault line

Answer 44

foot wall

Question 45

it is characterized by the movement of the hanging wall

Answer 45

dip-slip fault

Question 46

it is when a dip-slip fault whose hanging wall falls down the surface of the fault. It occurs due to the tensional force being applied on either sides of the fault.

Answer 46

normal fault

Question 47

it is when the movement of the hanging wall is upward, which results from the compressional force applied on the fault

Answer 47

reversed fault

Question 48

it is when a fault on the surface causes the rock to move horizontally

Answer 48

strike-slip fault
