Mountain Building, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes
Across
- 8. A volcano that has recently erupted.
- 10. This occurs when rock layers bend under stress.
- 11. Molten rock that is located on top of earth's surface.
- 13. The fault blocks move past each other horizontally.
- 14. The crack that forms when large blocks of rock break and move past each other.
- 15. Directly above the focus on Earth's surface
- 16. A volcano that erupted thousands of years ago and there is no way it will erupt again.
- 18. Mountains form when rock layers are squeezed together and pushed upward.
- 19. This volcano is likely to be the tallest and steepest.
Down
- 1. The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
- 2. Ground movements that occur when blocks of rock in the Earth move suddenly and release energy
- 3. A volcano that has not erupted in a long time but it can erupt in the future.
- 4. Mountains form when tension makes the lithosphere break into many normal faults.
- 5. Molten rock located below the earth's surface.
- 6. The process by which rocks change shape when under stress.
- 7. This volcano is the most common type and is cone shaped.
- 9. This volcano has a wide base and a large bowl shaped opening at the top.
- 10. A place within Earth along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs.
- 12. A mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock
- 17. The hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall.
