Intensity
- the strength of the earthquake
Volcano
- an opening in Earth's crust that erupts when pressure builds up
Cinder cone volcanoes
- volcanoes that have circular or oval cones
Composite volcanoes
- volcanoes that have steep sides
Shield volcanoes
- volcanoes look like the shape of a bowl or shield, with long, gentle slopes made from basalt lava flows.
Lava dome volcanoes
- volcanoes that are formed by thick lava / also be formed within inside of another volcano
Active volcanoes
- that have recently erupted, have/had at least one eruption for the last 10,000 years
Dormant volcanoes
- once an active volcano that has not erupted for 10,000 years but still has the potential to erupt again.
Extinct volcanoes
- volcanoes that no longer expected to erupt again
Pacific Ring of Fire
- 40,000 circle of interconnected fault lines around the Pacific Ocean.
Volcanology
- Study of Volcanoes
Magma
- Hot molten material
Lava
- The hot molten material when it goes out of the volcano
Ground rupture
- the mark of the intersection of the fault within the surface of the earth
Ground shaking
- disruptive vibration of the ground in all directions during an earthquake
Liquefaction
- the phenomenon wherein the soil is weakened by the earthquake shaking
Tsunami
- series of waves caused by earthquakes under the sea
Lava flow
- it will not be usable for a long time as lava deposits harden and solidify
Ashfall
- shower of fine-to-coarse-grained fragmented materials from a volcanic eruption
Lahar
- a thick mixture of volcanic materials & water that rapidly flows when in liquid phase but solidifies and hardens afterward
Volcanic
gases
- a mixture of different gases is released during a volcanic eruption, with most of it being water vapor
Pyroclastic flow
- fast, raging flow of volcanic materials made by a combination of ash, rocks, and hot gases.

Earthquake
- is a weak to violent shaking or trembling of the ground caused by the sudden movement of the rocks below the surface of Earth.
Faults
- are lines or cracks in Earth's surface that are caused by the movement of the plates
Tectonic
earthquake
- a type of earthquake caused by sudden movements along the tectonic faults and plate boundaries
Volcanic earthquake
- a type of earthquake caused by volcanic activities
Collapse
Earthquake
- a type of earthquake that occur in caverns or mines
