Earthquakes and volcanoes by Mariel A.
Across
- 2. a way of diving the earth
- 4. a measure of the amount of damage done (measured on mercalli scale)
- 5. formed from subduction zone between Juan de Fuchs plate and North American plate (ie Mount St. Helens)
- 9. measures magnitudes (ground motion goes up by x10 energy release by x30
- 11. a type of wave (goes through only solids and is the slowest)
- 12. where magma is stored
- 14. a record sheet (on a drum)
- 15. lava blows
- 17. shaking of earths crust caused by s release of energy
- 18. boiling hot springs (erupts violently)
- 19. lava flows
Down
- 1. division between crust and mantle
- 3. a plate we live on
- 6. thought to be responsible for the movements of the plates
- 7. fissures in the ground (steam and hot gases form)
- 8. plates moving apart , rifting, no folds (normal faults form)
- 10. magma that reaches the surface
- 11. plates are made of this layer of the earth (it is 100km thick)
- 13. the point on earths surface directly above the focus
- 16. molten rock underground
