Answer : These seismic waves shake the rocks up and down relative to the direction of travel, and cannot move through liquids or gases. : This is how we describe the texture of an igneous rock that formed slowly from cooling magma. : The Hawaiian Islands are in the center of the Pacific Plate, but the volcanic islands in the northwest are no longer erupting due to their distance from this. : An expanding area would denote this type of boundary. : A shrinking plate would denote this type of boundary. : This is how we describe the texture of an igneous rock that formed quickly from cooling lava. : The theory of plate tectonics explains the movement of the plates by convection cells in what layer of the earth? : The past is the key to the present, is what principle? : This is what we call the powder form of a mineral. : This is the type of sedimentary rock that forms from evaporating seawater. : This is the name given to the rim of the Pacific Ocean where some of the world's worst earthquakes, most active volcanoes, deepest ocean trenches, highest mountains, and richest mineral deposits are located. : This is how the sun's rays heat up our atmosphere. : The P waves and S waves are the earthquake's detected movements. Which waves arrive first? : This occurs when hot magma moves into the crust and bakes the rock with which it comes in contact. : Earthquakes usually occur at this type of boundary. : Coal is not a mineral because it is this. : This is a mineral's resistance to being scratched. : This is what we call metamorphic rocks that are formed by heat and pressure in a large area. : Chemical weathering can be caused by this. : A minimum of three seismic stations are needed to find the epicenter of an earthquake using this process.
