Subduction to S wave: 30 terms

  1. Result of compression of plates that creates a trench: Subduction

  2. Deep Sea Drilling Program: DSDP

  3. A process that breaks down rock and soil through physical action: Mechanical Weathering

  4. Result of tension that forms a volcanic mountain chain on land: Rift

  5. Result of tension that causes plates to form: Divergent

  6. Is found in rocks near a M.O.R. that was used as evidence of plate tectonics: Magnetism

  7. Boundary type that has shear forces on it: Transform

  8. Result of tension that forms a volcanic mountain chain near a coastline or beach: Island Arc

  9. This force is what causes seafloor spreading to occur: Convection Currents

  10. Boundary type that has gravitational forces on it: Convergent

  11. A process that breaks down rock and soil through a reaction: Chemical Weathering

  12. A process that transports rock and soil through a reaction: Erosion

  13. Result of tension of plates that creates a trench: Subduction

  14. Result of tension that forms a volcanic mountain chain in the ocean: Island Arc

  15. Shape of a river where the water on the inside of the bend has slower moving water: Meander

  16. Part of a river where two flows join: Confluence

  17. Also known as the source of a river: Headwaters

  18. Heavy meander of a river that has reversed the flow: Oxbow

  19. Found at the mouth of the river: Delta

  20. Hierarchy of time: Eon/Era/Period/Epoch

  21. Used to determine the age of a rock layer: Absolute Dating

  22. Type of fossil found in or near a river: Index Fossil

  23. The branch of geology concerned with the study of rock layers and layering: Stratigraphy

  24. Part of a river that has been separated from the main current: Oxbow

  25. The science of determining the relative order of past events: Relative Dating

  26. The process of determining an age on a specified chronology in geology: Absolute Dating

  27. Cinder Cone Volcano: Felsic Volcano that is very steep and usually short\

  28. Pyroclastic flow: Extremely dangerous explosion that forces ash, cinders, and rocks down the mountain at 200 mph

  29. Aa: Hawaiian term for a blocky and sharp lava flow

  30. S-wave: Wave that moves perpendicular to the direction an earthquake wave travels, and only travels through solids
