Across
  1. 2. with no net electric charge and a mass slightly larger than that of a proton
  2. 6. a trough or fold of stratified rock in which the strata slope upward from the axis
  3. 9. is a statistical measure that indicates the extent to which two or more variables fluctuate together
  4. 11. the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch

  6. 14. is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity
  7. 15. It is a volcanic feature formed by the collapse of a volcano into itself, making it a large, special form of volcanic crater.
Down
  1. 1. plates: are pieces of Earth's crust and uppermost mantle, together referred to as the lithosphere.
  2. 3. the sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate
  3. 4. a mountain or hill, typically conical, having a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas are being or have been erupted from the earth's crust.
  4. 5. a coarse-grained sedimentary rock composed of rounded fragments (> 2 mm) within a matrix of finer grained material
  5. 7. the point on the earth's surface vertically above the focus of an earthquake
  6. 8. a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action
  7. 10. a ridge-shaped fold of stratified rock in which the strata slope downward from the crest
  8. 12. It is a colloid of fine solid particles or liquid droplets, in air or another gas.
