has erupted in the past 10,000 years
eg. Cotopaxi, Mount St. Helens

Question 5

Dormant Volcano

Answer 5

has NOT erupted in past 10,000 years

Extinct Volcano

Answer 6

never expected to erupt again
eg. Mount Kenya, Mount Warning

Question 7

Mid-Ocean Ridge -

Answer 7

Found the middle Atlantic Ocean
Eurasian and Nth American plates slowly moving apart
Magma broke through - formed mountains and volcanoes

Question 8

Example of volcanic island

Answer 8

Iceland

Question 9

A volcanologist is

Answer 9

a scientist who studies volcanoes.
they study volcanic rock, ash & gases.
Monitor changes in shape of volcanoes to understand why & how they erupt and predict when they might erupt

Question 10

Positive impact of volcanic eruption

Answer 10

Social Impact - Reduced unemployment Increased tourism
Economic Impact - Income generated through tourism,
Fertile soil

Question 11

Negative impact of volcanic eruption

Answer 11

Social Impact - Contaminated water supply, Evacuation of locals
Economic Impact - Travel chaos, Loss of earings

Question 12

Why does Iceland have so many active volcanoes?

Answer 12

Located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Convection currents pulling Nth American and Eurasian plates apart

Question 13

An earthquake is…

Answer 13

the sudden shaking of the earth caused by the movement of the earth’s crust

Question 14

Most earthquakes occur…

Answer 14

along the edges of large plates, where they are colliding or sliding past each other.

Question 15

Seismologists are

Answer 15

scientists who study earthquakes

Question 16

Earthquake focus is

Answer 16

place where earthquake begins beneath earths surface

Question 17

Shock Waves…

Answer 17

also called seismic waves
spread out in circles from the focus

Question 18

Epicentre

Answer 18

The point on earth’s surface directly above the focus
strength of quake is greatest here

Question 19

Fault

Answer 19

a large crack in the earth’s crust

Question 20

How is a tsunami triggered?

Answer 20

When an earthquake occurs under the sea

Question 21

Seismograph

Answer 21

an instrument used to measure and record an earthquake and how long it lasted

Richter scale

Question 23

Richter scale goes from

1 to 10

Question 26

How can we reduce earthquake damage?

Answer 26

Predict when it might occur Plan for earthquakes Construct earthquake-safe buildings

Question 27

How are fold mountains formed?

Answer 27

found on plate boundaries where 2 plates have collided plates push against each other and pressure forces land to buckle upwards into folds

Question 28

Label the diagram

Answer 28

1. Focus 2. Shock Waves 3. Epicentre 4. Fault

Question 29

Rock's are divided into 3 groups

Answer 29

igneous sedimentary metamorphic

Question 30

How are igneous rocks formed and examples

Answer 30

Magma rise from mantle some trapped below surface cools very slowly known as intrusive igneous rock magma that reaches the surface and cools becomes extrusive igneous rock eg Granite and Basalt

Question 31

How are sedimentary rocks formed and examples

Answer 31

Rocks on earth's surface worn down over time some broken pieces are dropped in layers on sea floor become pressed together mixed with dead sea creatures become sedimentary rock eg. Sandstone and Limestone

Question 32

How are metamorphic rocks formed and examples

Answer 32

When igneous or sedimentary rocks are put under great heat or pressure eg. Marble and Quartzite

Question 33

What does this show and name the different parts

Answer 33

Fold mountains 1. Anticline 2. Syncline

Question 34

Name the red numbers

Answer 34
