  5. 16. the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle
  6. 17. a small earthquake that follows a main earthquake
  7. 19. movement- process by which soil, regolith, and rock move downslope under the force of gravity
  8. 21. major cross-formation break with accompanying Displacement of one side against the other
  9. 24. origin of an earthquake underground

Down
  1. 1. the layer of Earth between the core and crust
  2. 2. cone- a small volcano built primarily of pyroclastic material ejected from one single vent (also most often seen)

  10. 14. all life on earth
  11. 15. an area where material from within the mantle Rises and melts forming magma
  12. 18. A minor tremor of the earth that precedes a larger earthquake originating at approximately the same location
  13. 20. a mineral and its resistance to scratching
  14. 22. molten rock in earths mantle
