Earthquakes
Across
- 5. stress that causes lengthening
- 6. offset on the ground surface where one side of a fault has moved vertically with respect to the other
- 7. point underground where the fault ruptures
- 9. point on the surface directly above the focus
- 11. slow, gradual displacement along a fault without any noticeable earthquakes
- 12. tallest mountain in Washington state
- 14. stress that causes shortening
- 15. segment of an active fault known to produce significant earthquakes that has not slipped in an unusually long time
- 16. boundary where two tectonic plates pull apart
- 19. boundary where two tectonic plates collide
- 21. plate subducting under the North American Plate in the Cascadia Subduction Zone
- 23. volcano in the PNW that erupted in 1980
Down
- 1. boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other
- 2. most seismically active earthquake belt
- 3. fault where the headwall moves up
- 4. fault where the headwall moves down
- 8. stress where different forces are applied to the top and bottom of the rock
- 10. type of waves produced by an earthquake
- 13. type of potential energy stored in rocks
- 17. sudden vibration or shaking of the earth caused by rapid release of energy stored in rocks
- 18. most dangerous earthquake that can occur in the Cascadia Subduction Zone
- 20. fault where rocks slide past each other
- 22. tectonic plate boundary
