- 8. Cause particles to move up and down and side to side at the same time
- 9. Uses numbers 1-10 to measure an earthquake's magnitude
- 14. Cause particles to move up and down in a rolling motion
- 15. Hot gas, ash, and rock that explosive volcanoes produce
- 19. Magma, or molten rock, that reaches Earth's surface
- 20. Pulls two blocks of rock apart and occurs on divergent plate boundaries
- 21. Energy that travels as vibrations inside and outside Earth
Down
- 1. Fastest moving seismic waves that cause particles in the ground to push and pull
- 2. Large and steep sided volcano located on convergent plate boundaries
- 3. Large and gentle slopes and located on divergent plate boundaries
- 5. A vent in earth's crust where molten magma flows

- 11. Molten rock below Earth's surface
- 12. The ground shakes from movement in the lithosphere
- 13. ash Tiny particles of volcanic rock and glass that gets shot high in the atmosphere
- 16. The location on earth where rocks move along
- 17. A break in earths lithosphere, and when rocks move along a fault, an earthquake occurs
