  4. Are the types of waves that travel through the Earth

  5. What are body waves?

  6. Is the term used to describe the large earthquake that occurs

  7. What is the mainshock?

  8. L and R waves are an example of these types of waves.

  9. What are surface waves?

  10. This is a graph that scientist use to determine the strength of an earthquake.

  11. What are sesismographs?

  12. This type of wave arrives later to the sesmic station and can not travel through liquids.

  13. What are s waves?

  14. This type of plate boundary happens when two plates collide.

  15. What are convergent boundaries?

  16. Sea floor speading is an example of this type of plate boundary.

  17. What are divergent boundaries?

  18. This layer of the Earth is half liquid and half solid.

  19. What is the athenosphere?

  20. These can be found along the mid-ocean ridge and are cracks in the rock perpendicular to the transform fault.

  21. What are fracture zones?

  22. In this explanation of plate tectonics the athenosphere moves around like boiling water, causing the plates to move.

  23. What is large convection current?

  24. A majority of tsunamis are caused by these.

  25. What are underwater earthquakes?

  26. Most tsunamis occur at these locations (hint where do most earthquakes occur).

  27. What are plate boundaries?

  28. This is the safest location to be when a tsunami occurs.

  29. What is the middle of the sea far from land?

  30. Is the reason the tsunami wave become so large.

  31. What is the shallow water towards the shore?

  32. Is where the largest tsunami occured?

  33. What is Thailand?

  34. Is the tallest type of volcano.

  35. What is composite volcano?

  36. Is the smallest type of volcano.

  37. What is cinder cone volcano?

  38. This is the term for molten rock before it reaches the surface.

  39. What is magma?

  40. Is the widest volcano?

  41. What is a sheild volcano?

  42. Is the term used to decribe dust like particles exploding from a volcano.

  43. What is pyroclastic flow?

  44. Is the location of where hurricanes can occur.

  45. What is 5 degree north or south of the equator?

  46. Is the fuel for a hurricane.

  47. What is warm ocean water?

  48. Is the direction in which hurricanes move.

  49. What is counter clockwise or anti clockwise?

  50. This is considered hurricane season.
