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