orlando's crossword KID crossword puzzle
Across
  1. Scale / the magnitude of seismic energy released during an earthquake is measured by the Richter scale. A quake magnitude is determined by measuring the amplitude of the largest wave recorded on the seismogram. The larger the amplitude, the greater is the displacement of the recording pen and the greater the earthquake. (sensitivity of seismograph and distance of station from quake must be adjusted for in the calculation).
  2. waves / seismic vibrations that move through the Earth's interior. They are classified into:
  3. waves or P waves / push-pull waves, waves move back and forth in the direction in which the wave is travelling. Change both volume and shape of material in which they pass. Affect and can pass through solids, liquids, and gasses (as they all exhibit resistance to change in volume). Also called Longitudinal Waves= wave motion (amplitude) is parallel to direction of travel, e.g. accordion motion, to and from.
  4. / the point on the Earth's surface vertically above the focus of an earthquake, i.e. directly above the true centre of the seismic disturbance from which the shock waves of an earthquake seem to radiate. The epicentre usually registers the strongest shaking.
  5. waves or S waves / vibrations occurring at right angles to direction of wave propagation. They are shake-waves (shear waves), vibrating side-to-side. They are not as fast as P-waves and result in changing only shape of material they travel through. Affect and can pass through only solid materials (only solids offer resistance to change in shape). Also called Transverse Waves = wave motion (amplitude) is perpendicular to direction of travel, e.g. spring bobbing, up and down.
  6. plane / the planar (flat) surface along which two blocks of the earth's crust suddenly slip past one another during an earthquake
  7. / these are smaller earthquakes in the same area as the following larger earthquake. Until the larger earthquake hits scientists are unable to predict if they are foreshocks.
  8. / the size of the wiggles on an earthquake recording.
  9. Fault / earthquake faults are fractures where displacement is on either side relative to one another and parallel to the fracture.
  10. / the point inside the Earth where the rock breaks off and pressure is released, The focus point generally occurs 45 miles below the ground.
Down
  1. Waves / elastic energy that travels as waves through the Earth's crust at speeds of several miles per second and is propagated or transmitted outward radially from the focus of an earthquake.
  2. / the location below the Earth’s surface where an earthquake rupture begins.
  3. / a number that categorizes the amount of energy released during an earthquake.
  4. / the largest, main earthquake.
  5. / smaller earthquakes that occur after the main earthquake in the same place as the mainshock. Aftershocks are linked to the size of the mainshock and if this is large can continue for many weeks, months or years.
  6. tectonics / plate tectonics are the science of the process where rigid plates move across hot molten material. It helps explain the formation of mountains and the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes.
  7. depth of an earthquake / the depth of the hypocentre below the Earth's surface.

17 Clues: / the largest, main earthquake. • / the size of the wiggles on an earthquake recording. • / the location below the Earth’s surface where an earthquake rupture begins. • / a number that categorizes the amount of energy released during an earthquake. • depth of an earthquake / the depth of the hypocentre below the Earth's surface. • ...

Tectonic Plate Crossword 2017-01-21

Tectonic Plate Crossword crossword puzzle
Across
  1. ("all land") the single huge supercontinent that existed 245 million years ago, when all of Earth's continents were joined together.
  2. changed in form or character without becoming something else
  3. the southern continent formed when Pangaea split into two pieces
  4. a single thickness of some substance or material
  5. a system of connected underwater mountain ranges that run throughout the world's oceans. There is a rift valley in the center of the mid-ocean ridge, where magma rises up from the mantle, and pushes out to either side, producing seafloor spreading.
  6. a large continuous extent of land
  7. a vent in the earth's crust through which lava, steam, ashes, etc., are expelled
  8. the process by which new oceanic crust forms when magma rises up and solidifies at the mid-ocean ridges. The newer crust pushes the older crust out to each side, which is why the age of the sea floor increases with distance away from the mid-ocean ridges.
  9. reduce or cause to be reduced from a solid to a liquid state
  10. crash together with violent impact
  11. the rigid, brittle layer made up of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. It is broken up into pieces called tectonic plates.
  12. the sudden occurrence of a violent discharge
Down
  1. where two tectonic plates slip past each other, moving in opposite directions
  2. molten rock in the earth's crust
  3. plates large pieces of the lithosphere that slowly move on top of the asthenosphere. There are seven primary plates and many smaller ones. The seven primary plates are the African Plate, Antarctic Plate, Eurasian Plate, Indo-Australian Plate, North American Plate, Pacific Plate, and South American Plate
  4. where two tectonic plates move away from each other
  5. convection currents in the mantle that occur because hot rock in the lower part of the mantle is less dense and rises, and cooler rock in the upper part of the mantle cools, becomes more dense, and sinks. Mantle convection is thought to be the mechanism driving the movement of tectonic plates.
  6. the process by which one tectonic plate sinks below another, returning to the mantle, where the rock is re-melted. Subduction takes place at convergent plate boundaries. Oceanic crust, which is denser, will always subduct under the less dense continental crust.
  7. where two tectonic plates move toward each other
  8. rock that in its molten form issues from volcanos
