Geography - Plate Tectonics
Across
- 3. the actual location that the earthquake takes place (always in the crust)
- 5. molten rock under the crust
- 7. this measures how strong an earthquake is
- 10. a long tube or pipe that allows magma to escape to the surface
- 11. the thickest section of the earth and it is often described as semi molten
- 12. when two continental plates move alongside each other
- 13. when two continental plates collide and they form fold mountains
- 14. molten rock on the surface of the earth
- 15. the location on the surface directly above the focus
Down
- 1. a hole in the earth's surface where magma,gas or ash escapes onto the earth's surface or into the atmosphere
- 2. a series of vibrations or movements in the earth's crust
- 4. when two oceanic plates are moving apart
- 6. when an oceanic and continental plate collide together. The oceanic plate is then forced under the continental plate
- 8. this is an earthquake that happens after the main earthquake occurs
- 9. a giant hole left by a volcanic eruption
