Geology Criss-Cross puzzle
Across
- 2. Fluid flow that occurs spontaneously in the mantle which carries heat from the interior to the Earth’s surface.
- 4. Secondary waves which are slower but much stronger.
- 6. Polymeric material that has the capability of being shaped or molded.
- 7. High wave caused by a displacement of a large volume of water. Generally produced by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
- 8. The idea of an earthquake magnitude scale was first developed by Charles…
- 9. The study of magnetic rocks and sediments to record the history of the magnetic field. Was used to prove the spreading of tectonic plates.
- 12. Primary wave which is the fastest seismic wave.
- 16. Rocky outer part of the Earth. Made up of the crust and the top part of the upper mantle.
- 17. Graph output by a seismograph.
- 20. When all the continents used to be together forming one supercontinent.
- 21. The most rigid part of the mantle.
Down
- 1. When two plates move away from each other.
- 3. When two tectonic plates slide past each other.
- 5. When plates are pushed together.
- 10. Proposed the theory of continental drift.
- 11. Device that responds to ground noises which helps to detect and record data of an earthquake.
- 13. Ductile, less rigid, upper part of the mantle.
- 14. Place inside the Earth's crust where an earthquake originates.
- 15. Most dense, solid part of the core.
- 18. Made up of two layers, it's found between the core and the crust.
- 19. Point found above the focus.
