Across
  1. 2. Pulls on the crust of the earth creating constant ‘tension’ on the earth. The rock in the middle becomes thinner with this applied pressure
  2. 3. A point on the surface, directly above the focus
  3. 4. Waves that carry the energy from an earthquake away from the focus
  4. 6. Left from the collapse of a volcano
  5. 9. When divergent boundaries meet on a continent, creating a deep trench
  6. 11. A large rock that is formed by large amounts of magma cooling
  7. 13. A string of islands created by volcanoes
  8. 16. Force that acts on a rock
  9. 17. formed when magma forces itself across rock layers and hardens
  10. 18. An area where molten rock from deep within the earth’s surface rises and melts; forming a volcano
  11. 20. Forms when large formations, such as dikes, erect from the mantle
  12. 22. A change in the shape of a rock due to stress over time
  13. 23. Form when force pulls rocks apart and along a divergent boundary, which moves other rocks down
  14. 24. Force pushes two blocks together with other rocks moving up the fault
Down
  1. 1. Hot rocks from the mantle cool and create steep ridges
  2. 5. A area that overtime has built cooled magma
  3. 7. A point under the earth where a heavily pressured rock breaks, causing an earthquake
  4. 8. Pushing two masses of land in different directions
  5. 10. Form when magma hardens in a hard ad soft layer, after the soft layer is broken down, you are left with a volcanic neck
  6. 12. Molten mixture of rock
  7. 14. A fountain of water that is shot from the earth out of pressure
  8. 15. Two blocks of rock slide horizontally past eachother.
  9. 19. A weak spot in the earth’s surface where molten rock from the mantle rises to the surface
  10. 21. Tectonic plates moving, this creates a intense and violent shaking on the crust of the earth
