Predicting Volcanos & Earthquakes
Across
- 2. Scientific instruments that detect and measure ground vibrations from earthquakes and volcanic activity
- 3. The process where one tectonic plate sinks beneath another plate, usually when an oceanic plate meets a continental plate.
- 4. The edges where two tectonic plates meet and interact with each other.
- 6. Changes in the shape or elevation of Earth's surface, often indicating underground pressure changes.
- 8. A horseshoe-shaped area around the Pacific Ocean that contains about 75% of the world's active volcanoes
Down
- 1. Where plates move towards each other
- 2. Pictures taken from space that help scientists observe large changes on Earth's surface
- 5. Smaller earthquakes that sometimes occur before a larger, main earthquake.
- 7. Hot, melted rock found beneath Earth's surface that can rise up and form volcanoes
- 9. A satellite technology that can measure the movement of tectonic plates with extreme accuracy
