- 5. a part of the Earth's crust below the continents
- 8. an opening in Earth's crust through which lava, ash, and gases erupt
- 11. a volcano formed as an island from a hot spot
- 14. a mountain with a large, circular hole at the top through which lava gases, steam, and dust are or have been forced out
- 16. a mixture of rock, mineral, and glass particles expelled from a volcano during a volcanic eruption
- 17. belt like region, roughly surrounding the Pacific Ocean, characterized by frequent volcanic and earthquake activity

Down
- 1. the sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate
- 2. the middle layer of the earth's mantle
- 3. a part of the Earth's crust below the ocean
- 6. a dense, destructive mass of very hot ash, lava fragments, and gases ejected explosively from a volcano and typically flowing downslope at great speed
- 7. formed when hot molten rock crystallizes and solidifies
- 9. destructive mudflow
- 10. a sudden and violent shaking of the ground as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action
- 12. the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle
- 13. a stationary area in the Earth's mantle that gives rise to a plume of hot material, which can create volcanoes
- 15. hot molten rock below Earth's surface
- 20. the location where two plates meet
