This Longitudinal wave is the first to arrive at a seismic station after an earthquake
S Wave
Big Wave
P Wave
Wave Wave
2
The Lithosphere... (Pick all that are right)
Is made up of the crust and part of the upper mantle
Is the outermost mechanical layer
Contains the tectonic plates
Is a compositional layer
3
The Compositional Model of the Earth separates layers based upon what criteria
Chemical composition and density of the layer
Popularity
The way in which it moves
Luck
4
These Transverse waves arrive second at the seismic station, but cause more destruction.
Electromagnetic waves
Magic waves
Secondary (S) Waves
Stadium waves
5
The movement of the tectonic plates is driven by what?
The rotation of the Earth
An underground conveyer belt
Convection currents make the plates move
Angry trolls
6
Name the COMPOSITIONAL layers of earth in order, from outside to inside
Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Mesosphr, Outer Core, Inner Core
Crust, Mantle, Core
Lithosphere, Magmasphere, Chrichton Sphere, Blogosphere
Core, Crust, Mantle
7
Seismic waves cause earthquakes...
False, the happen at the same time
False, earthquakes CAUSE seismic waves
False, the two are not related
True
8
This spinning layer of molten iron gives the Earth its magnetic field
Outer Core
Asthenosphere
Crust
Mantle
9
What would you expect to see at a Continental-Continental Divergent boundary? (pick 3)
Volcanic activity
Rift valleys
island arcs
formation of rivers
10
Where does the heat in Earth's core come from? (choose all correct answers)
Solar heat
nuclear reactions
Pressure of higher layers pressing in
Leftover heat from the collisions that formed earth 4.6 BYA
11
You would find one of these where two plates converge and one is DENSER than the other
Ring of Fire
Mesosphere
Ocean Ridge
Subduction Zone
12
An ocean ridge forms at which boundary?
Transform boundaries
The boundary between outer and inner core
Diverging oceanic plates
Converging oceanic plates
13
what would you expect to see at an Oceanic-Oceanic divergent boundary
Sea floor spreading
Mid-Ocean Ridge
New ocean floor forming
Subduction
14
Oceanic Crust and Continental Crust have the same density
True
False Continental is MORE dense than Oceanic
Density of the crusts are not known
False Oceanic is MORE dense Continental
15
The Mercalli Scale is based on
Data from seismic stations
Eyewitness accounts of earthquake destruction
How much pasta is broken during the earthquake
Mystic runes
16
What would you expect to see at Convergent Oceanic-Oceanic plate boundary (Pick all that apply)
Tsunamis
Earthquakes
Subduction zone and Trenches
Island Arcs and Volcano Chains
17
The Richter scale measures magnitude of an earthquake based on... (pick all correct answers)
Amplitude of the largest S-wave
Data from the earthquake
a good guess
S-P arrival time
18
What causes convection currents in any fluid?
Heat causes a change in density making warmer fluids rise
Heat makes fluids more dense, forcing them to sink
19
How do we triangulate the epicenter of an earthquake? (select all correct answers)
Determine S-P arrival time at 3 seismic stations
Use S-P arrival time to determine epicentral distance
Where all three connect is the epicenter of the earthquake
Use epicentral distance to draw circles around each station
20
How do P and S waves tell us about the layers of the Earth? (pick 2)
magnitude of the waves
S waves are stopped or refracted by the liquid core
Arrival time
P waves can travel through any material
21
What would you expect to see at a Continental-Continental convergent boundary?
Formation of a mountain
subduction
rift valleys
sea floor spreading
22
What is the very fanciful name given to this notorious seismic zone
Ring of Fire
The place with earthquakes and volcanoes that is scary
Mordor
The Danger Zone
23
From outermost to innermost, what are the MECHANICAL layers of earth IN ORDER
Outer core, Mesospher, Lithosphere, Inner core, Asthenospher
Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Inner Core, Mesosphere
Lithosphere, Asthenospher, Mesospher, Outer Core, Inner core
Candy, Tootsie Roll
24

Density of the layer
State of matter
How fun it is to say
25
What would you see at an Oceanic-Continental convergent boundary (select all that apply)
sea floor spreading
