Earthquakes
Across
- 3. area of the earth where p-waves and s-waves can't be detected by seismographs
- 5. fracture in the earth's crust that causes rocks to slide against one another
- 9. relative size of an earthquake characterised by a number
- 10. place on the earth's surface directly above the focus
- 11. where an earthquake starts underground
- 14. layer of the earth between the crust and the core
- 17. measures intensity of an earthquake
- 18. rocks on both sides of a fault deform under pressure during an earthquake
- 19. small earthquakes that precede larger earthquakes in the same place
- 20. instrument that records force and duration of an earthquake
Down
- 1. waves that move at the surface of the earth
- 2. wave that moves through the interior of the earth
- 4. body waves that shake the ground parallel to the wave
- 6. small earthquakes that occur after a larger earthquake in the same location
- 7. earth's crust and upper mantle
- 8. measures the magnitude of an earthquake
- 12. body waves that shake the ground perpendicular to the wave
- 13. severity of an earthquake by its effect on people and the earth
- 15. upper layer of the earth's mantle
- 16. an area with several closely spaced
