22
Q

the term which covers all kinds of volcanic activities and the heat of the planet is trapped inside it.

23
Q

a process that gives rise to magma and causes its movements in the earth. It also covers espulsion of gases, lava, and solid materials from opening in the crust.

24
Q

is a vent, hill, or mountain from which molten or hot rock and gaseous materials are ejected.

25
As of February 2021, Active Volcanoes - ___
24
26
number of volcanoes in PH
300
27
called as oozing type of volcano. The fluid of lava spreads out quickly to form a broad cone with gentle slopes.
Quiet
28
explode with unbelievable violence. The eruption is often preceded by loud rumblings and earthquakes.
Explosive
29
between quiet and explosive types. Sometime quiet, sometimes explosive, or combination of both
Intermediate
30
the largest amount of volcanic materials are extruded from cracks in the crust
Fissure
31
primary material extruded from a volcano
LAVA
32
molten rock inside a volcano
MAGMA
33
the term magma comes from the Greek word that means "__________"
kneaded mixture
34
magma are not liquid but combination of:
liquid gas and solid.
35
added as huge slabs of crust slide past each other at the subduction zones by friction.
heat
36
the transformation of one rock type into another.
Metamorphism
37
the natural phenomenon cannot be prevented, we can prepare for them
EARTHQUAKE
38
the location of earthquakes.
Fault in earth crust
39
is a sudden, rapid shaking of Earth caused by a release of energy stored in rocks
EARTHQUAKE
40
caused by plate tectonics
Tectonic Earthquakes
41
They account for most earthquakes worldwide and usually occur at the boundaries of tectonic plates.
Tectonic Earthquakes
42
caused by human activity,
Induced Earthquakes
43
associated with active volcanism. They are generally not as powerful as tectonic quakes and often occur relatively near the surface.
Volcanic Earthquakes
44
can be triggered by such phenomena as cave-ins, mostly in karst areas or close to mining facilities, as a result of subsidence.
Collapse Earthquakes
45
Fault has two parts: The ________, which is a block of rock above the fault line or above the crack in rocks.
HANGINGWALL
46
The _______ Which is block of rock below the fault line.
FOOTWALL,
47
3 types of stress
compression tension shear
48
happens when rock is squeezed until it folds or breaks in convergent boundary.
COMPRESSION
49
happens when the rock is pulled causing it to be stretched in divergent boundary.
TENSION
50
when the forces that push rocks and faults in opposite directions.
SHEAR
51
compression fault
reverse fault
52
shear fault
strikeslip fault
53
tension fault
normal fault
