2. Two or more tectonic plates are pulling apart and new crust is formed
6. Tectonic plate that is composed of granite rocks where are lightweight materials such as quartz.
7. tectonics
8. The point on the surface directly above the earthquake origin.
9. Formation of new oceanic crust, which occurs through upwelling of magma at midocean ridges and subsequent outward movement on either side.
10. Two plates slide past each other in opposite directions
12. Movement of heat; hot materials rise and cool then fall back towards the heat sources in a circular motion.
13. Branch of science that studies earthquakes and relate phenomena

1. Sudden and violent shaking of the ground that can cause massive destruction, as a result of plate movement of erupting volcano
3. Two plates come together, and one subducts under the other creating a long narrow depression on the seafloor.
4. Tectonic plate that is composed of heavy and dense material such as basalt.
5. Two or more tectonic plates are coming together and will form mountains and/or ocean trench with volcanic mountains.
9. Two or more plates come together and one plate sinks beneath the other
11. A mountain of hill that has a crater or vent that lava, rock fragments, hot vapor and gas are released from beneath Earth’s crust.
