Earth's Interior, Earthquakes & Volcanoes

Earth's core is made up of

Which is true of seismic waves?

Malleable; about 100 km (60 miles) to about 700 km (450 miles) below Earth’s surface

As you move from the crust to the core, temperature and pressure

Box A refers to which types of wave?

When Continental and Oceanic crust (plates) converge, this occurs:

Solid outer section of Earth, includes Earth's crust and upper part of the upper mantle.

What can you say about the amplitude of the S-Waves and you move farther from the Epicenter?

Reverse Fault

Asthenosphere

_______ generated within the asthenosphere push magma upward to create new crust.

Faulting, a sudden lateral or vertical movement of rock along a rupture/break in the surface. 

On a seismogram, the _____  is the first signal to arrive, followed by the slower ____

Box B refers to which types of wave?

Waves that travel through the core and mantle are

How long do the P-Waves last as shown by the seismogram data below?

Lithosphere

Belt found along the rim of the Pacific Ocean; ~ 81% percent of largest earthquakes occur here

Waves can that travel through the mantle are

Which scientific theory is represented below?

Most earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and continental plates.

Strike-Slip Fault

Normal Fault
