Dynamic Earth
Across
- 2. the supercontinent that formed 300 million years ago and that began to break up 200 million years ago
- 3. the solid, outer layer of Earth that consists of the crust ad the rigid upper part of the mantle.
- 4. stress that occurs when forces act to stretch an object
- 7. a movement or trembling of the ground.
- 8. a break in a body of rock along which one block moves relative to another.
- 13. the bending, tilting, and breaking of earth's crust
- 15. a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water
- 16. the location within Earth along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs
- 17. the thin and solid outermost late of Earth above the mantle.
Down
- 1. the bending of rock layers due to stress
- 2. the theory that Earth's outer layer is made up of large, moving pieces.
- 3. magma that flows onto Earth's surface
- 5. stress that occurs when forces act in parallel but opposite directions
- 6. a vent or fissure in Earth's surface through which magma and gases are expelled.
- 9. the strong, lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core.
- 10. the central part of Earth below the mantle
- 11. an opening at eh surface of the earth through which volcanic material passes
- 12. the point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's starting point
- 14. the molten or partially molten rock material containing trapped gases produced under the Earth's surface
