Kaitlyn Nimmer-Dynamic Earth
Across
- 4. boundaries/2 plates slide sideways past each other.
- 6. wave/earthquake wave that travels through the interior of the earth and is recorded by a seismograph.
- 8. currents/a current that results from convection.
- 10. record produced by a seismograph
- 12. ridges/underwater ridges (mountains) in the middle of the ocean basin.
- 13. boundaries/A tectonic boundary
- 14. wave/when pieces of rock in an earthquake vibrate at right angles.
- 15. core/fluid layer about 2,300 km thick and made up of mostly iron and nickel.
Down
- 1. rock formation
- 2. boundaries/2 plates are moving away from each other
- 3. fault/2 blocks of rock are pulled apart by tension.
- 5. mantle/fluid and can move.That causes the movement of the tectonic plates of the Earth's crust.
- 7. map/type of map characterized by large-scale detail and quantitative representation of relief.
- 9. analysis/analysis using the fact that physical quantities added to or equated with each other must be expressed in terms of the same fundamental quantities.
- 11. fault/2 blocks of rock are forced together by compression.
