Science (The Dynamic of Earth)
Across
- 1. a line which may be visible or not that occurs on Earth's surface
- 3. the point on Earth's surface directly above focus
- 4. geological faults where the earthquake originates
- 6. a fault in which the hanging wall moves down
- 8. first part is the area where the fault occured
- 11. a large wave that moves up and down
- 15. refers to the forces and events that lead to a large structural deformation
- 16. a fault in which two blocks of the crust slide past each other on the same place
- 17. a molten rock
- 19. are classified into two: surface waves and body waves
- 24. can detect the existence of a fault by studying the distances between rocks
- 26. also called ground rolls
- 30. a natural phenomena that is a sudden, violent shifting of massive plates underneath the Earth's surface
Down
- 2. an Irish civil engineer and scientist who studied the earthquake's motion
- 5. a mountain that opens downward to a reservoir
- 7. considered as the longest mountain chain
- 9. traverses to the direction of the propagation but with no vertical motion
- 10. located with either in the PRoF or the Alpide Belt
- 12. refers to the blocks of crust above the fault
- 13. Japanese word for tidal wave or big wave
- 14. the process and phenomenon associated with the surficial discharge of molten rocks and other materials
- 16. travels approximately 2.5-4km per second and can only travel through solid materials
- 18. travels fastest at the speed from 4km to 8km per second
- 20. a crack across which the rocks have offset first
- 21. propagation of elastic waves through Earth and other planet-like bodies
- 22. He introduced the Richter Scale back in 1934
- 23. is the block of crust below the fault
- 25. are areas where heat or rocks in the mantle are rising towards the Earth's surface
- 27. are locations on Earth's surface that has experienced active volcano activties
- 28. also called thrust fault
- 29. occurs when matter such as magma circulates
