EARTHQUAKES
Across
- 4. Scientists who study earthquakes
- 7. A seismic wave that causes particles of rock to move in a side-to-side direction
- 9. Study of earthquakes
- 12. Two forces of plate tectonics that can cause the deformation of rocks
- 13. A break in the Earth's crust along which blocks of crust slide relative with one another
- 14. Two lithosphere plates colliding forming a boundary
- 15. Seismic waves that travel along the Earth's surface
- 16. Rock deformation that's like a piece of molded clay and doesn't lead to earthquakes
- 19. Waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases
- 20. The change in a rock's shape in response to stress
Down
- 1. Seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior
- 2. The boundary between tectonic plates that are sliding past each other horizontally
- 3. Giant pieces of Earth's think, outermost layer
- 5. The boundary between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other
- 6. The sudden return of elastically deformed rock to its original shape
- 8. Rock deformation that's like a stretched rubber band and leads to earthquakes
- 10. The two types of vertical movement in the Earth's crust
- 11. A set of deep cracks that form between two tectonic plates pulling away from each other
- 17. Waves of energy that travel through the Earth
- 18. Occurs when rock layers bend because of stress
