Unit 7.2A Part 4

The emission of volcanic products such as lava, ash, and gases from a volcano is known as:

• Eruption

• Fumarole

• Fissure Vent

• Caldera

The movement of material from the mantle and the crust, upwards through the crust and emitting on Earth’s surface driven by the flow of energy is known as:

• Flow of Energy

• Cycling of Matter

• Region of Stability

• Subduction

NGSS.MS-ESS2-1

A gray-colored volcanic rock that is made from both oceanic and continental plate material is known as:

• Basalt

• Andesite

• Rhyolite

• Volcanic Rock

The downward movement of the edge of a plate into the mantle beneath another plate at a convergent boundary, where old plate material is destroyed is known as:

• Subduction

• Ejecta

• Plate Tectonics

• Continental Drift

NGSS.HS-ESS1-5

An area on Earth’s surface with little evidence of thermal energy flow and far away from the linear patterns of volcanic and earthquake activity, like the Ring of Fire is known as:

• Region of Stability

• Region of Change

• Region of Calm

• Region of Eruption

With respect to caldera formation, the average timing of major, catastrophic events (calculated from the total time period divided by the number of events) is known as:

• Frequency

• Explosivity

• Eruption Timing

• Subduction

NGSS.MS-ESS3-2

A tectonic region where a continental or oceanic plate is splitting apart and new plate material is created is known as:

• Divergent Boundary

• Ring of Fire

• Convergent Boundary

• Subduction

The constant, gradual movement of oceanic and continental plates on Earth’s surface is known as:

• Subduction

• Plate Motion

• Tephra

• Mantle Plume

A broad, dome-shaped volcano with gently sloping sides formed by layers of relatively fluid lava is known as:

• Shield Volcano

• Fissure Vent

• Stratovolcano

• Caldera

A vent or opening on a volcano that releases high temperature steam and gases is known as:

• Fumarole

• Fissure Vent

• Eruption

• Cycling of Matter
