- 6. Volcano with steep sides that is less than 500m high.
- 7. Largest wave
- 9. Measures destructive nature of the earthquake.
- 10. An earthquake wave type that squeezes and pulls rocks in the same direction along which the waves are traveling
- 14. When two plates come together
- 15. Wave that causes the most damage

Down
- 2. A transform plate has a _______ fault.
- 3. Measures size of fault rupture, movement of rupture, and the rocks stiffness.
- 5. Volcano that forms when the summit or side of a volcano collapses into the magma chamber that once fueled the volcano
- 8. Measures size of biggest wave from earthquake
- 11. When two plates slide across each other
- 12. An earthquake wave type that causes rocks to move in right a angles in relation to the direction of the waves.
- 13. First shown wave on a seismograph
- 19. An earthquake wave type that moves in two directions as they pass through a rock.
