(Initial eruption deep within the earth)

What is a rift and a fault?

[image]  [image]

 A small opening (crack) in the earth layer as a result of a seismic wave.

A deep opening or split of the earth layer caused by a seismic wave.

How does the separation of tectonic plates impact Earth?

[image] 

Pangaea – Supercontinent 

 Continental drift - separation of the continents 

 Seven continents - Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, Antarctica, North America, and South America

What are the different stages of a volcano?

What different type of land forms exist due to seismic waves? 

[image]  [image] [image] [image] 

Island Arc   -   A several volcanoes located in a ring often erupting at the same time.                                        

  Surtsey - newly formed island formed from cooled volcanic lava.

 Mountains /volcanoes- formation of land forms that are created when tectonic plates collide, separate, or slide past each other.

 Geyser / hot springs- ground water that sprouts when heated or ignited by seismic waves. 

How does seismic waves affect the ocean floor?

[image]   [image]   [image]

Sea floor spreading- separation of the ocean floor due to tectonic plate movement.

Convection currents – circulation or movement of liquid

   Tsunami  - seismic waves occuring in a large body of water.

What are some ocean land forms?  

[image]  [image] [image]

Mid ocean ridge    - under water mountains

  Sea mounts   - Underwater   volcanoes

Trenches - deep valleys in the ocean floor
