Across
  1. 3. a type of fault where rocks on either side move past each other sideways with little up or down movement
  2. 5. a type of wave that compresses and expands the ground
  3. 6. the measurement of an earthquakes strength based on seismic waves and movements along faults
  4. 7. stress that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks
  5. 9. a scale that rates earthquakes by estimating the total energy released by an earthquake
  6. 11. the shaking that resultsfrom the movement of rock beneath the earths surface
  7. 12. stress that pushes masses of rock in opposite directions, in a sideways movement
  8. 14. the point beneath the earths surface where rock breaks under stress and causes an earthquake
  9. 17. a type of seismic wave that moves the ground up and down and side to side
  10. 18. the block of rock that forms the lower half of a fault
  11. 20. a land form that has high elevation and a more or less level surface
  12. 21. an upward fold in rock formed by compression in earths crust
Down
  1. 1. a scale that rates an earthquakes magnitude based on the size of its seismic waves
  2. 2. a force that acts on rock to change it's shape or volume
  3. 3. a type of seismic wave that forms when P waves and S waves reach the surface
  4. 4. a device that records ground movements caused by seismic waves as they move through earth
  5. 6. a scale that rates earthquakes according to intensity and how much damage they cause at a particular place
  6. 8. stress that stretches rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle
  7. 10. a downward fold in rock formed by compression in earths crust
  8. 13. a type of fault where the hanging wall slides upward; caused by compression
  9. 15. a type of fault where the hanging wall lides downward; caused by tension in the crust
  10. 16. the block of rock that forms the upper half of a fault
  11. 19. the point on the earths surface directly above the earthquakes focus
