100 Solid material ejected from a volcano What is pyroclastic material?	100 Basaltic What kind of magma would you expect to find at an oceanic hotspot?	100 Caldera What is the term for the crater on top of a volcano?	100 All (convergent, divergent, transform) At what kind(s) of tectonic plate boundaries do earthquakes occur?	100 Seismograph What device is used to measure earthquakes?
200 Lava What is molten rock called, when it has reached the Earth's surface?	200 Continental hotspots Where will the most explosive volcanic eruptions take place?	200 Volcanic Mudflow What is a lahar?	200 Focus What is the term for the point underground where movement begins in a earthquake?	200 Triangulation You can find the location of an earthquake by plotting its distance from 3 points. What is this process called?
300 Ash What is the smallest, finest kind of pyroclastic material?	300 Andesitic What kind of magma forms volcanic arcs and island arcs?	300 Basaltic What kind of lava are shield volcanoes formed from?	300 Aftershock What is the term for a small earthquake that happens after the main quake?	300 Primary wave or P-wave What kind of body wave will arrive first at an earthquake monitoring station?
400 Pyroclastic Flow What is the term for a superhot avalanche of ash, rock, and gases?	400 It has a lot of water in it Why does subducting oceanic crust melt into magma so easily?	400 Lots... Name 1 volcano on earth that has erupted in recorded human history.	400 An oceanic plate snaps upward, and pushes a mass of water with it Briefly explain how a tsumani happens.	400 Station 1 At station 1, the P-wave and S-wave arrive 3 minutes apart. At station 2, the P-wave and S-wave arrive 5 minutes apart. Which station was closer to the earthquake?
500 Blocks are solid when ejected from a volcano, bombs are semi-molten What is the difference between a block and a bomb?	500 Divergent Boundaries Where does a pressure release on the mantle allow magma to easily form?	500 The rim of the Pacific Ocean, which is ringed by subduction zones and volcanoes What is "The Ring of Fire?"	500 Between the soil grains When liquefaction occurs, there can be flooding on the Earth's surface. Where did all the water come from?	500 Rayleigh wave What kind of earthquake wave is Mr. Green simulating?
