Q

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

A

Volcanism

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.

A

Volcanism

24
Q

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

A

Volcano

25
Q

As of February 2021,
Active Volcanoes - ___

A

24

26
Q

number of volcanoes in PH

A

300

27
Q

called as oozing type of volcano. The fluid of lava spreads out quickly to form a broad cone with gentle slopes.

A

Quiet

28
Q

explode with unbelievable violence. The eruption is often preceded by loud rumblings and earthquakes.

A

Explosive

29
Q

between quiet and explosive types. Sometime quiet, sometimes explosive, or combination of both

A

Intermediate

30
Q

the largest amount of volcanic materials are extruded from cracks in the crust

A

Fissure

31
Q

primary material extruded from a volcano

A

LAVA

32
Q

molten rock inside a volcano

A

MAGMA

33
Q

the term magma comes from the Greek word that means “__________”

A

kneaded mixture

34
Q

magma are not liquid but combination of:

A

liquid gas and solid.

35
Q

added as huge slabs of crust slide past each other at the subduction zones by friction.

A

heat

36
Q

the transformation of one rock type into another.

A

Metamorphism

37
Q

the natural phenomenon cannot be prevented, we can prepare for them

A

EARTHQUAKE

38
Q

the location of earthquakes.

A

Fault in earth crust

39
Q

is a sudden, rapid shaking of Earth caused by a release of energy stored in rocks

A

EARTHQUAKE

40
Q

caused by plate tectonics

A

Tectonic Earthquakes

41
Q

They account for most earthquakes worldwide and usually occur at the boundaries of tectonic plates.

A

Tectonic Earthquakes

42
Q

caused by human activity,

A

Induced Earthquakes

43
Q

associated with active volcanism. They are generally not as powerful as tectonic quakes and often occur relatively near the surface.

A

Volcanic Earthquakes

44
Q

can be triggered by such phenomena as cave-ins, mostly in karst areas or close to mining facilities, as a result of subsidence.

A

Collapse Earthquakes

45
Q

Fault has two parts: The ________, which is a block of rock above the fault line or above the crack in rocks.

A

HANGINGWALL

46
Q

The _______ Which is block of rock below the fault line.

A

FOOTWALL,

47
Q

3 types of stress

A

compression
tension
shear

48
Q

happens when rock is squeezed until it folds or breaks in convergent boundary.

A

COMPRESSION

49
Q

happens when the rock is pulled causing it to be stretched in divergent boundary.

A

TENSION

50
Q

when the forces that push rocks and faults in opposite directions.

compression fault

A

reverse fault

52
