Across
  1. 2. addition of too much salt. salt is good in small
  2. 6. Circular currents in the mantle/asthenosphere caused by the magma being heated by the core off the Earth.
  3. 11. compressed, longitudinal, the fastest wave
  4. 13. the center of the earth
  5. 16. A severe storm that develops over tropical oceans and whose strong winds of more than 120 km/h spiral in toward the intensely low-pressure storm center
  6. 17. the removal of soil from a given area while Degradation is when the soil remains in the same place but becomes poorer in quality because of nutrient imbalances, salinization, etc
  7. 20. Point at the depth where the rocks ruptured to produce earthquakes
  8. 21. A molten mixture of rock-forming substances, gases, and water from the mantle
  9. 22. primarily of dense iron-rich materials
  10. 23. -3428 km in radius
  11. 26. Boundary between two plates that are sliding past each other (ex. San Andreas Fault in CA)
  12. 27. caused by earthquakes at an epicenter located on the ocean floor, or by an underwater landslide activated by an earthquake
  13. 31. -5 - 70 km thick
  14. 33. a fuel drive from biological material that became fossilized millions of years ago
  15. 34. hot (7000 - 10,000 °C) sphere of very dense nickel and iron
  16. 35. Boundary between tectonic plates in which the two plates move away from each other, and new crust is created between them
  17. 36. Point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus
  18. 37. currents likely gives rise to Earth's magnetic field
Down
  1. 1. caused by movement between earth's tectonic plates
  2. 3. but irrigation can oversalinate and make soils toxic
  3. 4. broad, shield-shaped volcanoes, have high-viscosity lava that flows so these are typically not catastrophic
  4. 5. crust and core
  5. 7. crust, mantle, and core
  6. 8. Liquid magma that reaches the surface; also the rock formed when liquid lava hardens
  7. 9. formed by the subduction of either a convergent older oceanic plate against a younger oceanic plate or an oceanic plate against a continental plate
  8. 10. -2900 km thick
  9. 12. the breakdown of parent material (rocks, minerals, wood, etc.) into soils by earth's atmosphere, waters, or biological organisms, which will eventually be removed.
  10. 14. measure waves that affect earthquakes
  11. 15. fluid and moving due to convection currents
  12. 18. Fuel derived from radioactive materials that give off energy
  13. 19. any displacement of large amounts of soil down slopes over a (typically) short period of time. It is primarily caused by gravity and human causes, and the general classes are landslides, rockfalls, earth slumps, or mudslides
  14. 20. a fracture in rock across which there is movement. Is formed by a continental transform plate interaction, has lots of seismicity and minor rifting
  15. 24. liquid petroleum that is removed from the ground
  16. 25. a graph that show the seismic waves
  17. 28. composer of giant crystals of metal running North to South
  18. 29. massive volcano
  19. 30. transverse, cannot travel through liquid or gas, intermediately fast
  20. 32. A tectonic plate boundary where two plates collide, come together, or crash into each other
  21. 34. and lightweight compared to mantle
