Across
- 4. fine particles of rock dust from an erupting volcano
- 6. molten rock on which plates float
- 10. a deformation that leads to an earthquake
- 11. the point of the Earth's surface vertically above the focus of an earthquake
- 12. spherical concentric regions of matter that make up the Earth and its atmosphere
- 14. melted rock under the surface of the earth
- 17. folding, breaking, or flow of rocks

- 20. the process when solid, liquid, and gaseous materials are emitted into the Earth's atmosphere and onto the Earth's surface by volcanic activity
Down
- 1. changes of the minerals and textures of a rock by temperature and pressure
- 2. crack on the slopes of a volcano
- 3. a break along which surrounding rock breaks
- 5. an instrument that records vibrations of the ground; also to determine strength and location of an earthquake
- 7. when loose sediment moves from one place to another on Earth's surface; caused by water, ice, and wind
- 8. type of stress that squeezes, shorten rocks
- 9. the process of clastic sediment lithified by precipitation of mineral cement
- 13. a bowl shaped geological formation at the top of a volcano
- 15. inner layer of the Earth
- 16. forming of cracks in weakened continental or oceanic crust
- 19. the thin, outer layer of the earth
