  • Magma rises and cools=instrusive
  • Granite is made in Dublin
  • Igneous= granite and basalt
  • Magma hits outside air= extrusive
  • Basalt is made in Derry
  • sedimentary=sandstone and limestone
  • Sandstones made in kerry
  • Limestone is made in Clare
  • sea life cements together and makes sedimentary rock
  • Metamorph. = igneous and sedimentary rock heated and made to harder rock
  • Marbles made in Kilkenny
  • Quartize is made in mayo
  • Metamorphic= marble and quartzite
  • Passive boundaries= ——>
    <——-
  • Constructive boundaries= <——>
  • Destructive boundaries= ——><——
  • Passive boundaries =plates slide past each other
  • Earthquakes are caused by plates sliding past each other
  • Constructive boundaries= plates separate
  • Plates separating cause volcanoes
  • Destructive boundaries= plates collide
  • Earthquakes are caused by two tectonic plates making friction
  • Epicentre=the point directly above earths surface
  • Focus point=point directly above the epicentre
  • Richter scale is used to measure the magnitude
  • Seismographs are instruments used to record the motion of the ground during an earthquake
  • Core= the centre of the earth
  • Mantle= the layer of earth under the crust
  • Crust= the most outer layer of the earth
  • Outer core= the layer of earth above the core
  • Pacific ring of fire-s a path along the Pacific Ocean made by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes
  • Crater – funnel sheep above the vent where magma comes out
  • Magma chamber – large pool of liquid rock
  • main vent – the opening of the volcano where lava comes out
  • lava – magma(moltenrock) emerging as a liquid onto earth surface
