Earthquakes
Across
- 2. The second waves to be felt from an earthquake that shakes the ground left and right.
- 4. Mountains formed when two plates collide and the edges crumble and fold.
- 6. The turning of moist sediment into mud during an earthquake.
- 9. Long oceanic wave generated by the sudden uplift of the ocean floor from an earthquake.
- 11. Scale created to rate earthquakes according to the level of damage caused in a specific region.
- 12. Fault caused from shearing stress as rocks are sliding past each other.
- 13. Stress that causes rocks to push or squeeze against one another.
- 15. Mountains formed when rock in the middle of a plate break apart and move upwards.
- 16. Fault caused from tension stress as rocks are pulled apart.
Down
- 1. Scale created to rate earthquakes according to their magnitude based on the size of the seismic waves.
- 2. Stress that causes rocks to be pushed and slip in different directions.
- 3. magnitude Scale created to rate earthquakes according to the level of damage caused in a specific region.
- 5. Mountains formed when a tectonic plate is being spread apart.
- 7. Stress that causes rocks to pull apart.
- 8. Fault caused from compression stress as rocks are squeezed.
- 10. The first waves to be felt from an earthquake that shake the ground forward and backwards.
- 14. wave Seismic waves that move slowly and make the ground roll like ocean waves.
