Plate Boundaries, Stresses and Faults
Across
- 3. type of boundary where plates move apart, or diverge from each other
- 5. the stress force that pulls on the crust and thins the rock in the middle
- 6. type of fault where the rocks on either side of the fault slip past each other sideways, with little up or down motion
- 8. type of fault where the blocks move in the reverse direction;hanging wall moves up
- 9. type of fault that cuts through rock at an angle;hanging wall moves downward
- 10. a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume
- 11. type of boundary where plates slip past each other horizontally
Down
- 1. breaks in Earth’s crust where rocks have slipped past each other
- 2. type of boundary where plates come together, or converge
- 4. the stress force that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks
- 7. stress that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions
