Earth Science

5. The source of the release of energy that causes an earthquake.
7. Type of plate boundary that two plates are moving towards one another.
9. Gives the position north or south of the Equator.
12. Zone Type of convergent boundary where one plate sinks and melts underneath the other.
13. Molten rock that is on the surface of the earth.
15. Mantle The middle layer of the earth made of cool, soft rock that flows like a liquid and does not break.
16. Type of plate boundary that two plates are being pulled apart from each other.
17. The movement or vibration of the earth caused by a release of energy.
18. The type of volcano that is the largest.
19. The outermost layer of the earth that "floats" on the mantle.
21. The way that the surface of a mineral reflects light.
22. The point on the earth's surface directly above the focus.
23. Smaller less destructive earthquakes that come before a major earthquake.
25. The type of rock that is formed when existing rocks are subjected to high heat and pressure.

1. Cone The type of volcano that is the most common.
2. Gives the position east or west of the Prime Meridian.
3. The type of rock that is formed by the cooling of molten materials.
4. Molten rock that has not left the inside of the earth's crust.
6. Any naturally occurring inorganic solid that possesses an orderly internal structure and definite chemical composition.
7. type of volcano that is the most explosive.
8. Type of plate boundary that two plates slide past one another.
10. Any solid mass of mineral matter that occurs naturally.
11. The type of rock that is formed through the break down and solidification of existing rocks.
14. Smaller earthquakes that occur after a major earthquake.
20. Mantle The middle layer of the earth made of cool, brittle rock that causes earthquakes.
24. Core The inner layer of the earth that is made of super hot liquid metal.
26. Core The inner most layer of the earth that is extremely hot but made of solid metal.
