    • What are the different layers of the earth?

      crust, mantle, outer core, inner core
    • Conservative plate; direction of plates moving , what's happening, hazards/landforms found, real life examples

      Along side eachother, no crust created or destroyed often causes earthquakes, earthquakes, San Andrea faut
    • Collision plate; direction of plates moving , what's happening, hazards/landforms found, real life examples

      Into eachother, 2 continental plates move together , crumpling and folding causes mountains and earthquakes, fold mountains and earthquakes, Eurasion and indo Australian
    • Constructive plate;direction of plates moving , what's happening, hazards/landforms found, real life examples

      Apart, plates move apart them magma rises from mantle and erupt on surface of earth as a volcano when is cools its forms new crust , gentel sided volcano and small earthquake and mid ocean ridge , North America and eurasion plates
    • Destructive plate; direction of plates moving , what's happening, hazards/landforms found, real life examples

      Over and under, the heavier oceanic plate sinks under the lighter continental plate the friction causes earthquakes the continental melts and makes volcanoes , fold mountains and earthquakes and ocean trench and volcanoes , Mazda plate and South America
    • Why are the plates moving all the time?

      Convection currents
    • Hold old is the earth ?
      4.5 billion years old
    • Lava

      Liquid rock that flows down the side of a volcano , destroys crops and buries towns and villages
    • Ash

      Solidified lava that’s been exploded out of the volcano , gets in eyes , hair and lungs and can suffocate you and can collapse roofs
    • Lahar (mudflow)

      A river of hot mud formed from ash mixing with water , travels up to 100km per hour , they sweep everything along with it , you can drown in mud
    • Parts of the volcano 

      Magma chamber, magma , main vent , secondary vent , secondary cones , crater , volcanic bombs
    • Hazards of a volcanos
      Ash , Lahar, lava
    • What’s a natural hazards

      A hazard that’s not man made and that can harm a person or a thing
    • The 3 types of volcanoes 

      Active , dormant , extinct
