Tectonic Plates, Seismic Waves, Faulting!
Across
- 1. the solid rock just below the soil
- 4. structure what does plate tectonics mean
- 6. instrument to measure seismic waves
- 8. the top of the Earth's surface
- 10. plates move into one another
- 12. waves that produce entirely horizontal motion
- 13. the Earth's outer shell
- 14. a scientist who studies earthquakes and seismic wave
- 17. what is under crust
- 19. created when two contiental plates collide and the colliding crust is compressed and pushed upwards
- 20. another phrase for p waves
- 22. triggers large earthquakes
- 25. body waves that arrive before the surace waves edmitted by an earthquake
- 26. waves of energy caused by a sudden breaking of rock
- 28. plates dives beneath the other creathing this
- 30. the creater of a love wave
- 31. fastest kind of seismic wave
- 32. the zone where the oceanic plates are moving away from eachother
- 33. the permanent displacement of the ground due to the event
- 37. waves that can only move along the surface of the planet
Down
- 1. waves that tavel through the Earth's inner layers
- 2. a fracture in a rock formation where there has been movement of the blocks of rock on either side of the plane of fracture
- 3. a part of the upper mantle that exhibits plastic properties
- 5. the deepest point on Earth
- 7. a wave that rolls along the ground
- 9. how many tectonic boundries are there?
- 11. faults that occu when shearing stress causes rocks on either side of the crack to slide parallelto the fault plane between them
- 14. a plate of ocean dives under a landmass
- 15. the study of earthquakes and seismic waves that move through and around the earth
- 16. second wave you feel in an earthquake
- 18. the cause of faults
- 21. the rocks above move upward relative to the rocks below the plane
- 23. strikeslipfaults where the crack is part of a boundary between two tectonic plates
- 24. who proposed the theory of contiental drift
- 27. formed when plates are tugged apart
- 29. radiate seismic energy as body and surface waves
- 34. plates move sideways in relation to eachother causing things like Earthquakes
- 35. what are plates made of
- 36. plates move apart
- 38. how do the plates change over a long period of time
