HOW THE EARTH WAS MADE
Across
- 2. Runny, gas-poor lava common in Hawaiian volcanoes.
- 7. Small fragments of rock and ash ejected during eruptions.
- 10. Cycle The cycle that links rock, tectonic, and hydrological processes.
- 13. Powerful undersea eruptions linked to changes in sea level.
- 14. Sudden shaking of the ground due to tectonic movement.
- 16. Broad, dome-shaped volcanoes like those in Hawaii.
- 17. Krakatau Indonesian volcano that continues to grow about 12 feet per year.
- 18. Field of science that studies volcanoes.
- 19. Region around the Pacific Ocean with the most active volcanoes and earthquakes.
- 20. A huge depression formed when a volcano collapses after an eruption.
Down
- 1. Hot melted rock beneath Earth’s surface.
- 3. The new volcano that rose in 1927, called the “Child of Krakatoa.”
- 4. The “perfect cone” volcano in the Philippines.
- 5. Violent eruption in 1883 that killed over 36,000 people in Indonesia.
- 6. The world’s largest active volcano, found in Hawaii.
- 8. Chain of volcanic islands formed as a tectonic plate moves over a mantle plume.
- 9. Thick,silica-rich lava that causes explosive eruptions.
- 11. Ocean-floor volcanic chain formed along spreading centers.
- 12. Type of earthquake along subduction zones, often linked to tsunamis.
- 15. The 1991 Philippine eruption that was successfully predicted.
