At divergent plate boundaries in the ocean magma rises and melts because of what
Because of a decrease in pressure.
How do you keep your house earthquake safe
A tsunami can occur when there is vertical movement at a fault under
How did opponents of continental drift account for the existence of similar fossils on widely separated continents
migration across land bridges
What process occurs when an earthquake's shaking turns loose soil into mud
the answer is liquefaction
What can a travel time graph be used to find
A travel time graph can be used to find the distance from the
epicenter of an earthquake.
How did industrialization spread
Industrialization spread by people making more goods and others continued to copy and do the same.
How much of an increase in wave amplitude is seen from an earthquake measuring 5.4 on the Richter scale compared to one measuring 4.4
How many earthquakes have occurred in Hawaii
Folding is usually the result of what type of stress
Over time sand dunes tend to migrate
in the same direction as that the wind blows
Is crater lake the deepest lake in Oregon or is it the second deepest lake in Oregon
Crater Lake is the deepest lake in Oregon.
Which is a landscape feature created by glacial deposits
Which is a geographic example of a transform fault boundary
A geographical example of a transform fault boundary is the San
Andreas fault. Another example of a fall boundary is the Northridge
fault.
What did the pattern of earthquakes in the wadati-benioff seafloor zones show scientists
Slabs of ocean floor return to the mantle in subduction
zones
Which is not a factor in calculating the moment magnitude of an earthquake
magnitude of past earthquakes in the area
What is the difference of the P waves and S waves used to locate an earthquake's epicenter
P waves, also called primary waves, are the first waves to be
registered on a seismograph. The S waves, or secondary waves, are
the second and slower wave to register on the seismograph. When
locating an earthquakes epicenter seismologists take the first
reading of the P wave, and then take the reading from the S wave.
At the station of where the earthquake was recorded, seismologists
draw a large circle from where the earthquakes epicenter could be.
TO exactly located the earthquakes epicenter there needs to be at
least 3 dfferent staions where the earthquake hit to determine its
epicenter using the S and P time interval.
Which step is part of the formation of a batholith
Many plutons clump together as they rise through the crust.
Why was Alfred wegeners idea that tidal forces might cause continental drift refuted as impossible
It would stop earth's rotation.
Showed that the tidal forces needed to move continents would
stop earths rotation.
When p wave bend while traveling through earth's core what happen when arrive at the shadow zone
serveral minutes later than expected
When new rock is added to an oceanic ridge the magnetized strips on either side of the ridge are evidence of sea-floor spreading. This is because the rocks on the two sides of the ridge
are equal in width and polarity
What is magma viscosity directly related to
What does running water while occurring infrequently in deserts do
does most of the erosional work.
What was the reason wegeners continental drift hypothesis was rejected
His evidence was incorrect.
Which does not affect the amount of destruction caused by earthquakes vibrations
the weather during the day of the earthquake
The trace that records an earthquake from seismic instruments is called a
Is this statement true or false P waves and S waves are two kinds of seismic waves.
What does most magma forms from
Magma is liquid rock from volcanoes.
How do ancient glacial deposits in Africa India Australia and South America support the idea of continental drift
