Plate Tectonics Part One
Across
- 4. is a series of processes that create and transform the types of rocks in Earth's crust.
- 7. Hot, liquid metal layer of earth
- 10. Loose Earth materials, such as sand, soil, & rocks found on the surface of the Earth.
- 11. rocks formed from cooled/solidified molten rock.
- 12. Cool & rocky, surface layer of earth
- 13. rocks formed from extreme heat and pressure.
- 14. Solid rock found everywhere on Earth, often under SEDIMENT.
- 16. Is a sudden & violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust.
- 18. The plane or a rupture zone along which two rocks mov
- 19. The surface location of the earthquake, directly above the focus.
Down
- 1. Describes the damage of the earthquake.
- 2. Plate material containing DENSER BASALT that is usually found under the ocean.
- 3. rocks formed from compacted sediment.
- 5. Plate material containing LESS DENSE GRANITE that is usually found underground on continents.
- 6. Large slabs of solid, cool rock on the Earth's crust that moves slowly.
- 8. How the energy of the earthquake travels.
- 9. Hottest, solid metal ball of earth
- 15. Measures the energy (or strength) of the earthquake.
- 17. Hot, magma flowing layer of earth
- 18. The starting point of the earthquake.
