Across
  1. 3. that fracture in the earth along which blocks of crust move relative to each other causing earthquakes
  2. 5. a scale that reports the amount of energy released by an earthquake
  3. 8. the energy of the wave
  4. 11. a body wave that does not penetrate the earths core
  5. 14. the distance a seismic station is from the epicenter of the earthquake
  6. 15. a wave in which the particles move parallel to the direction of wave energy
  7. 16. A sea wave that is created when the seafloor slips after and underwater earthquake
Down
  1. 1. the part of the earth between the core and the crust
  2. 2. an electronic device that is used to record and transmit earthquake data
  3. 4. the top of a waveform
  4. 6. the tendency of a system to oscillate with greater amplitude at some frequencies than at others
  5. 7. the outer most layer of the earth where earthquakes occur
  6. 9. a wave in which the particles move up and down, perpendicular to the direction of the wave energy
  7. 10. cycles per second
  8. 12. the place on the surface of the earth directly above the focus
  9. 13. the area of the earth that is unaffected by both P and S waves
