Compare Complete the Venn diagram below to compare folds and faults. Faults 2. Apply Concepts What would you expect a rock that has expelienced tension to look like? 3. Infer About 20,000 years ago, many areas in northern North Amelica were cov ered with glaciers. Since then, the glaciers have melted. The lithosphere in many of these areas is now expeliencing uplift. Why is this? 4. Describe How can a geologist tell if a fold is a syncline or an anticline? Copyright © Holt McDougal.

Describe 2. Identify What are three types of plate collisions that can form mountains? 3. Compare What are the main differences between mountains that form where two continents collide and mountains that form where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate? What is one difference between the way that folded mountains and fault-block mountains form? 4. Describe 5. Apply Concepts A geologist is studying a mountain. The mountain is small and round. Its sides are not very steep. How did the mountain most likely form? Explain your answer. Copyright © Holt McDougal. All rights reserved.

Describe Relationships 2. Explain How is elastic rebound related to eruihquakes? Why do most earthquakes happen at plate boundaries? 3. Compare Describe three differences between P waves and S waves. 4. Describe What are shadow zones, and why do they exist? Copyright © Holt McDougal. All rights reserved.

Describe Relationships seismogram a tracing of earthquake motion that is recorded by a seismograph seismograph an instrument that records vibrations in the ground How are a seismograph and a seismogram related? 2. Explain Two different cities experienced the same earthquake. In one city, scien tists said that the earthquake had a level V intensity. In the other city, scientists said that the earthquake had a level VII intensity. Explain how this could be true. 3. Describe How do scientists find the location of an earthquake's epicenter? earthquake affected the towns of Quakeville and Shaketown. Quakeville was closer to the epicenter than Shaketown was. The seismogram on the left is from Quakeville. The picture on the right shows part of the seismogram from Shaketown. Complete the seismogram from Shaketown. 4.

Explain What causes a tsunami? 2. Describe 3. Identify volcanic eruption, submarine earthquake, or landslide What are seismic gaps, and why are they important? What are two ways an earthquake can damage a building? Scientists examined the rocks at a fault zone, and they predicted that an earthquake might happen there. What do you think they found? 4.

Define In your 2. Describe volcanism any activity that includes the movement of magma toward or onto Earth's surface volcano a vent or fissure in Earth's surface through which magma and gases are expe'lled own words, define volcanism. Complete the table below to describe how volcanoes form in different areas. Place Where Volcanoes Form Why Magma Forms There Description Subduction zones A mantle plume rises to the surface. Two plates move apart. As the plates move apart, the pressure on the rock below decreases. The decreased pressure causes the rock to melt. What is the main difference between how a pluton forms and how a volcano forms? 3. Compare The map below shows the locations of many volcanoes.

Infer Which would be more likely to increase the steepness of a volcanic cone--a quiet eruption or an explosive eruption? Explain your answer. 5. Explain Scientists today are studying many active volcanoes around the world. They are even studying volcanoes that have not erupted for hundreds or thousands of years.
