Dynamic Earth 2.0
Across
- 7. below the lithosphere is a layer made up rock that is fluid and can move
- 8. A geologic fault in which the hanging wall has moved upward relative to the footwall
- 10. analysis using the fact that physical quantities, must be expressed in terms of the same fundamental quantities
- 11. fluid layer about 2,300 km (1,400 mi) thick and composed of mostly iron and nickel
- 12. A tectonic boundary where two plates are moving away from each other
- 13. A geologic fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall
- 14. is an underwater mountain system formed by plate tectonics
Down
- 1. an instrument that measures and records details of earthquakes, such as force and duration
- 2. is a type of map characterized by large-scale detail and quantitative representation of relief
- 3. is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock, across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass
- 4. Earth's outer layer, the crust, is divided into a set of large moving plates. The lines where they meet
- 5. a longitudinal earthquake wave that travels through the interior of the earth
- 6. a current in a fluid that results from convection.
- 9. are places where plates slide sideways past each other
- 15. is a wave motion in a solid medium where the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the travel of the wave
