Earthquakes
Across
- 1. travels through solids liquids and gasses
- 6. waves of energy that travel through Earth
- 8. sudden return of elasticcally deformed rock
- 10. point inside the earth where it earthquakes begin
- 11. measure the strength of earthquakes
- 14. reverse fault
- 16. instrament that records seismic waves
- 17. strike-slip fault
- 19. point on the surface above the starting point
- 20. change in the shape of rock from stress
- 21. states that sections of active faults that have had relaticely few earthquakes are likely to be the sites of strong earthquakes in the future.
- 22. second-fastest wave
Down
- 2. areas where few earthquakes occur
- 3. waves that travels in the interior
- 4. measure of the strength of an earthquake
- 5. normal fault
- 7. the study of earthquakes
- 9. amount of damage caused by an earthquake
- 12. the process of making older structures more earthquake resistant
- 13. instraments located at or near the surface of the earth that record seismic waves
- 15. a measurement of how likely an area is to have damaging earthquakes in the future
- 18. waves that travel along the surface
