Earth's Structures
Across
- 1. Opening through which magma escapes
- 3. Force that pushes rock masses in opposite directions
- 7. Rock from magma below the surface
- 9. Underground point where energy is released in earthquake
- 12. Rock of the ocean floor
- 14. Crust and rigid part of mantle, broken into tectonic plates
- 15. Solid that occurs naturally and has a definite chemical composition
- 17. Region where one plate slides under another plate
- 20. Lines on a topographic map that show elevation
- 21. Soft layer in mantle that flows like liquid
- 23. Forms from layers of sediment that have cemented together
- 25. Earth's innermost layer
Down
- 2. Point on Earth's surface directly above the focus
- 4. Forms when molten rock cools and hardens
- 5. Boundary where two plates collide
- 6. Slowest seismic wave, causes the most damage
- 8. Mineral that contains useful substances
- 10. Older and thicker part of crust, makes up continents
- 11. Forms from intense heat and pressure
- 13. Boundary where plates slide past each other
- 16. S waves, second fastest seismic wave, does not travel through liquid
- 18. Boundary where two plates pull apart
- 19. Rock from lava above the surface
- 22. P waves, fastest seismic wave
- 24. Force that pulls rock apart
