Q: What is intrusive or plutonic?
Volcanoes for $200
A: SiO2 changes this property of magma and determines how explosive a volcano’s eruption
will be.

Q: What is transform?
Plate Boundaries for $150
A: This type of crust is dense, poor in SiO2 and relatively young.
Plate Boundaries for $150
A: This type of crust is dense, poor in SiO2 and relatively young.
Q: What is oceanic crust?
Plate Boundaries for $200A: This can lead to a chain of volcanoes in the
middle of a plate, far away from any plate boundaries. It is a place where magma is close
to the surface of the crust.

middle of a plate, far away from any plate boundaries. It is a place where magma is close

Q: What is a hot spot?
Plate Boundaries for $200A: This is why oceanic crust subducts under continental crust but continental crust never
subducts under oceanic crust.

Q: What are P-waves?
Earthquakes for $150
A: Earthquakes do not occur randomly around the world. Instead, they tend to occur along
these.
