Earth Science
Across
- 3. Vibrations that travel through the Earth carrying energy release from the Earth.
- 7. Plates move towards each other and can cause uplift
- 10. Theory that plates are in constant motion from the heating of the Earth
- 11. Combination of P and S waves most damaging
- 12. Made of solid iron and nickel
- 13. Liquid mud and soil are created from after an earthquake
- 14. This moves the plates about 2.5 cm each year
Down
- 1. Most exterior layer of the Earth
- 2. Plates move away from each other
- 4. Point in the Earth where the rocks break from under stress
- 5. Measurement of the amount of energy released from the earthquake
- 6. Middle Layer of the Earth's interior
- 8. Point above the focus on the Earth's surface where the most damage from the earthquake can observed
- 9. Plates shift past each other in opposite directions
