Which of the following statements describes a tectonic plate?
convergent plate boundary
Tectonic plate boundaries
10.9
crater
The hanging wall drops down relative to the footwall.
A block of the lithosphere that moves around on top of the asthenosphere
Rocks along a fault move suddenly and release energy
cinder cone
What type of motion happens in a normal fault?
convergent plate boundary
Tectonic plate boundaries
10.9
crater
The hanging wall drops down relative to the footwall.
A block of the lithosphere that moves around on top of the asthenosphere
Rocks along a fault move suddenly and release energy
cinder cone
A volcano with magma that has high viscosity, so gas bubbles cannot escape easily. As bubbles expand, magma rises faster. The magma can then erupt EXPLOSIVELY, releasing gas, ash, and large chunks of rock. This type happens at what type of boundary?
convergent plate boundary
Tectonic plate boundaries
10.9
crater
The hanging wall drops down relative to the footwall.
A block of the lithosphere that moves around on top of the asthenosphere
Rocks along a fault move suddenly and release energy
cinder cone
Volcanic vents are places where magma can erupt onto Earth surface. Which volcanic feature forms a relatively small depression around a volcano's vent?
convergent plate boundary
Tectonic plate boundaries
10.9
crater
The hanging wall drops down relative to the footwall.
A block of the lithosphere that moves around on top of the asthenosphere
Rocks along a fault move suddenly and release energy
cinder cone
Which type of volcano is made mostly of pyroclastic materials?
convergent plate boundary
Tectonic plate boundaries
10.9
crater
The hanging wall drops down relative to the footwall.
A block of the lithosphere that moves around on top of the asthenosphere
Rocks along a fault move suddenly and release energy
cinder cone
