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