Fault
the instrument used to measure the intensity of an earthquake
the release of energy when plates shift
a large tidal wave caused by an earthquake that happens under water
organisms can be destructive as they eat away and/or destroy or change the landscape of the world
a process that constructs, or builds up an existing landform, or creates a new one. Examples include deposition, volcanoes, faults
a mountain made of lava, ash, or other materials from eruptions
the melted, molten rock beneath Earth's surface
A former "supercontinent" on the Earth that included all the present continents, which broke up and drifted apart
the point on Earth's surface that is directly above the focus of the earthquake
the scale used to determine the strength of an earthquake (0-10.0 scale with 6.0+ being pretty powerful)
a crack in the Earth's surface where two plates meet
area around the Pacific Ocean where there is a large number of earthquakes and some of the Earth's most active volcanoes occur
the point underground where the energy buildup is released
the dropping of sediment, creates a new landform (deltas and sand dunes)
how the movement of energy in an earthquake is measured
a theory that explained how continents shift, or change position on Earth's surface
a natural occurrence that breaks down the surrounding area. Examples include weathering, erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes, organisms
the pieces of Earth's crust that fit together and form the top layer of the Earth
the molten rock when it reaches Earth's surface
