Plate Tectonics and Natural Disaster
Across
- 3. Under the crust, a layer made of melted rock.
- 4. A type of rock formed when sediments that were deposited in ancient times were pressed together and became hard.
- 6. Rock (or sediment) stop at a new spot to form new landform.
- 7. The outer layer of the earth.
- 9. When water that falls from the clouds as rain, snow, hail or sleet, collects in the oceans, rivers, lakes, streams.
- 10. Two continental plates move together towards each other.
- 14. A mass movement of material, such as rock, earth or debris, down a slope.
- 17. To change from a liquid into a gas, water becoming water vapor.
- 18. A shaking of a part of the Earth's surface that often causes great damage.
- 19. Two continental plates slide past each other in different directions.
- 20. Magma that comes out of the earth.
- 21. Natural processes that break rocks into smaller pieces.
- 22. Hot, melted rocks from the mantle of Earth.
- 23. An extremely large, powerful, and destructive storm that occurs especially in the region of the Philippines or the China Sea.
Down
- 1. when magma or lava cools, this kind of rock forms.
- 2. Water falling in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
- 5. Natural processes that move rock (or sediment) from one place to another.
- 8. To change from a gas into a liquid, water vapor becoming clouds.
- 11. A mountain with a hole in the top or side that sometimes sends out rocks, ash, lava, etc., in a sudden explosion (called an eruption).
- 12. The super continent.
- 13. The act or result of cutting down or burning all the trees in an area.
- 15. Heat and heavy pressure cause the rock to change into a marble.
- 16. Two continental plates move away or apart.
- 19. A very high, large wave in the ocean that is usually caused by an earthquake under the sea and that can cause great destruction when it reaches land.
