Topic 12 Part 3

P-waves

• the waves in earthquakes that travel through Earth's interior and cause particles through which they travel to vibrate in the direction the waves are moving; fastest moving waves

• the energy waves given off by an earthquake; also called earthquake waves

• the plate tectonic process in which one of the plates at a convergent boundary sinks under the other plate and eventually melts into the asthenosphere

• earthquake waves that move through the Earth's interior and cause the particles through which they travel to vibrate at right angles to the direction of the wave motion; will only travel through solids not liquid or gases

tectonic plate

• section of the lithosphere that moves around Earth's solid surface

• a boundary at which plates slide by each other, such as the San Andreas fault that separates the North American and Pacific plates; also called a lateral fault plate

• very fast large wavelength ocean wave or waves produced by impact events and disturbances of the ocean floor caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides

• raised up; as in mountain buidling

volcanic eruption

• the giving off of gases, lava, and/or lava rock onto Earth's surface or into the atmosphere through the opening or vent of a volcano

• a mound or mountain composed of extrusive igneous rock

• mountains that are presently rising because they are at the location of converging plates or at the site of a hot spot

• raised up; as in mountain buidling
