Volcano Puzzle
Across
- 4. A small area or region with a relatively hot temperature in comparison to its surroundings.
- 5. A tectonic belt of volcanoes and earthquakes
- 7. Lava rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas from this
- 8. Molten rock formed on the surface or breaking through it
- 12. The part of the Earth's crust that makes up the seafloor and is also younger then the continental crust
- 14. This type of volcano is considered a special class of mountain formed by oceanic and continental subduction
- 17. Boundary between two tectonic plates
- 18. Fine particles of mineral matter from a volcanic vent
- 19. An oceanic tectonic plate that lies beneath the Pacific Ocean
- 20. A release of the earths energy when it shakes violently
Down
- 1. This part is below the lithosphere and consists of the lower mantle and core
- 2. This type of rock is made from cooled lava and examples of one of the rocks is obsidians
- 3. The relatively thick part of the earth's crust that forms the large landmasses. It is generally older and more complex than the oceanic crust.
- 6. a dense, destructive mass of very hot ash, lava fragments, and gases ejected explosively from a volcano and typically flowing downslope at great speed.
- 9. This type of volcano is made by oceanic and oceanic subduction
- 10. This boundary moves closer, one sinks below and one slides above the other
- 11. This part is below the asthenosphere and consists of the upper mantle and crust
- 13. The sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate.
- 15. Molten rock underground
- 16. This is a violent type of mudflow or debris flow composed of a slurry of pyroclastic material
