 * Science: **

Hello and welcome to the best Science review page EVER!!

Below, you will explore the vast caves of epic research that I have explored to put here before you and make it as easy as possible for you to study. YAAY!

//Volcanoes:// Volcanoes are AMAZING!!! They explode and are very cool.

Here are some terms that should help you study: media type="custom" key="11306336" There are 3 types of volcanoes: Cinder Cones, Composite Cones, and Shield Volcanoes. Consider this: Consider Shield Volcanoes to be Turtles, they are shaped like a shell and are wide. Consider Composite Cones to be the "normal volcano", they are the typical tall, explosive volcano. Consider Cinder Cone volcanoes to be the non normal ones. They are average width and not big height.



List of volcanoes we need to know, plates involved, and location:

- Ambyrum Vantuata, South Pacific Ocean, Pacific and Australian - Cotopaxi, Ecuador, Nazca and South American - Fuji, Japan, Triple Junction - Etna, Italy, Eurasian and African - Katmai, Alaska, Pacific and North American - Krakatoa, Indonesia, Eurasian and African - Kilomanjaro, Tanzania, East African Rift Zone - Pacaya, Guatamala, Cocos an Caribbean - Kilauea, Guatemala, Cocos and Caribbean - Pinatubo, Philippenes, Philippene and Eurasian - Vesuvius, Pompeii, African and Eurasian - Katla, Iceland, Eurasian and North American - Arenal, Costa Rica, Caribbean and Cocos

//Earthquakes://

Earthquakes are AMAZING!!! They shake the ground and are very cool.

Here is a list of the Volcanoes we need to know and their locations.

Focus - Point where the actual earthquake happens on the fault plain. Epicenter - Focus projected to surface. Seismogram - diagram of the earthquake on paper recorded in siesmic waves. Seismograph - Instrument that records seismograms. P-Waves - Primary waves that come first and are faster. S-Waves - Secondary waves that come second and are slower. Velocity - Speed that something is moving at.

4 things that cause most damage during an earthquake: - Liquefaction - Ground Shaking - Ground Rupture/Cracks - Land Slides

You will have to be able to triangulate the epicenter of an earthquake given the distances from the stations to the point of the epicenter.
