C19 P1
Across
- 3. The recorded output of a seismograph.
- 4. Solid, dense center of Earth.
- 10. Increase in temperature as depth increases.
- 12. Thin, outer layer of Earth where we live.
- 13. Area where certain seismic waves are not detected.
- 14. Point underground where the earthquake begins.
- 16. Smaller quake before the main earthquake.
- 18. Thick layer of hot, solid rock beneath the crust that flows slowly.
- 19. Soft, plastic-like layer beneath the lithosphere that can flow.
- 20. Study of earthquakes and seismic waves.
- 22. Sudden shaking caused by energy release in Earth’s crust.
- 23. Slower waves; travel only through solids.
- 24. Fastest waves; travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
Down
- 1. Rigid outer layer made of the crust and upper mantle.
- 2. Stress builds up and is released suddenly, causing earthquakes.
- 5. Center of Earth made mostly of iron and nickel.
- 6. Force exerted on an area; increases with depth.
- 7. Smaller quake after the main earthquake.
- 8. Liquid layer that surrounds the inner core.
- 9. Break in Earth’s crust where movement occurs.
- 11. Point on Earth’s surface directly above the focus.
- 13. Tool used to detect and record seismic waves.
- 15. Travel along Earth’s surface; cause the most damage.
- 17. Mass per unit volume.
- 18. Lower mantle; more rigid due to pressure.
- 21. Energy waves released by earthquakes.
