Across
- 4. A wide, gently sloped cone that forms from flows of lava
- 6. The idea that many kinds of rocks form flat, horizontal layers
- 11. The point where an earthquake starts as rocks begin to slide past each other
- 12. Shaking of Earth's crust after the initial shaking of an earthquake
- 13. A cuplike hollow that forms at the top of a volcano around the vent
- 14. The central opening in a volcanic area through which magma may escape
- 16. A very hot part of the Earth's mantle, where magma can melt through a plate moving above it
- 17. Earth's solid, rocky surface containing the continents and ocean floor
- 19. The layer beneath Earth's crust
- 20. A vibration that spreads out away from a focus when an earthquake happens
- 22. Hot, molten rock below Earth's surface
- 23. The idea that a supercontinent split apart into pieces, the continents, which drifted in time to their present location
Down
- 1. The sliding of a denser ocean plate under another plate when they collide
- 2. A steep-sided cone that forms from explosive eruptions of hot rocks, ranging from particles to boulders
- 3. The idea that Earth's surface is broken into plates that slide slowly across the mantle
- 5. The idea that new crust is forming at ridges in the sea floor, spreading apart the crust on either side of the ridges
- 7. nergy Heat from below Earth's surface
- 8. Magma that reaches Earth's surface and flows out of a vent
- 9. A cone formed from explosive eruptions of hot rocks followed by a flow of lava over and over
- 10. A huge crack in Earth's crust at or below the surface, the sides of which may show evidence in motions
- 15. The point on Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake
- 18. The amount of energy released by an earthquake
- 21. A sensitive device that detects the shaking of Earth's crust during an earthquake
