Volcano

There are many kinds of volcano’ s, but don’t get confused about volcanic mountains, and mountains because there is a difference.

A volcanic mountain will usually go into a narrower tip and a mountain will have more of a flat top to it.

*Focus: the point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs

*Seismograph: an instrument that records vibrations in the ground and determines the location and strength of an earthquake

*Richter: a scale, ranging from 1 to 10, for indicating the intensity of an earthquake.
