Earthquake Puzzle
Across
- 4. The underground origin of an earthquake.
- 7. Fastest of the seismic waves and can travel through liquid, solid, or gas.
- 8. The cause for rock folding and the formation of faults.
- 10. The above ground origin of an earthquake.
- 13. The pulling and or stretching of rock at a divergent boundary.
- 14. Wave that can only move through solids and may cause moderate damage.
- 15. Type of boundary where plates are pushed toward each other.
Down
- 1. Occurs on the surface of the crust as rock is stressed and strained.
- 2. The squeezing of rock at a convergent plate boundary.
- 3. Surface wave and most destructive they move in a rolling motion.
- 5. Instrument used by geologists to track the speed of seismic waves.
- 6. Type of boundary where plates are moving apart from each other.
- 8. Shearing takes place at this type of fault associated with transform boundaries.
- 9. A type of fault where compression forces the hanging wall to move up.
- 11. A type of fault where tension causes the hanging wall to move down.
- 12. Type of boundary where plates move along side each other.
