Plate Tectonics
Across
- 3. Movement along strike slip faulting is not up and down, but
- 7. Outer, thinnest layer of the Earth
- 8. Molten rock from within the earth
- 9. Type of scale to describe an earthquake in terms of the amount of damage done
- 11. What the outer core of the Earth is composed of
- 13. Type of faulting is common at divergent plate boundaries
- 14. The theory of crustal movement was introduced in 1915 by Alfred
- 17. The upper,"plastic" mantle that is made up of partially melted material
- 19. Formed from a hot spot in the Earth's Crust
- 20. Type of plate boundary when two plates move opposite of each other
Down
- 1. Type of scale to describe the amount of energy released by an earthquake
- 2. The continental crust is mostly made of
- 4. Type of plate boundary where an ocean trench will typically form
- 5. Layer found below the crust
- 6. The crust and outermost part of the mantle
- 10. Waves that ripple the surface of the Earth, causing most of the damage of an earthquake
- 12. Type of fault when two plates slide horizontally past each other
- 15. Type of plate boundary when two plates move together
- 16. In an earthquake the point on the surface directly above the focus
- 18. Rock layers get warped, or bent as a result of compression
