Across
  1. 4. They travel through solids and liquids
  2. 7. A lithospheric structure where material inside the Earth erupts to the surface
  3. 8. The breakdown and transportation of the Earth's surface caused by running water, rain and wind
  4. 11. They travel only through solids, not through liquids
  5. 13. The process where weathered rocks are carried away from their source by wind, waves or rivers and dumped elsewhere
  6. 14. A building technique where counterweights are used to balance shaking caused by an earthquake
  7. 16. A word that describes rocks changed through the heat and pressure of the Earth's crust
  8. 17. The point in the Earth's crust where an earthquake begins
  9. 18. Dense, rocky material under the Earth's crust
  10. 19. The sudden release of energy within the Earth's crust that causes shaking of the ground
  11. 23. This type of volcano is prominent in Hawaii
  12. 25. The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus
  13. 27. The process where the movement of tectonic plates and the compression of rocks can create faults, volcanic mountains as well as fold and lift the Earth's crust
  14. 29. It is called lava after reaching the Earth's surface
  15. 30. A device that monitors gas emissions and heat coming from a volcano that can help predict an eruption
  16. 31. Limestone and sandstone are rocks formed from the compaction of __________ material
Down
  1. 1. A hill or ridge with a gentle slope on its back and a steep slope on its front
  2. 2. A word that describes a volcano that is currently inactive but may erupt in the future
  3. 3. A fault where the compression of rocks forces the tectonic plate on one side of the fault to move up and over the other side
  4. 4. A fast moving current of hot gas and rocks emitted from a volcano
  5. 5. A cycle vital for all other cycles existing in the biosphere
  6. 6. The transfer of heat by the movement of fluids
  7. 9. Rocks formed from magma with a cool, glassy appearance
  8. 10. A building technique where the building is lifted above the ground (by a spring etc.) to prevent earthquake damage
  9. 12. A four-digit number that represents a certain rectangular area within a map
  10. 15. An alternative name for a composite volcano
  11. 20. One of numerous ways to categorise the factors that affect the Earth
  12. 21. The thickness of a liquid
  13. 22. A fault where two tectonic plates move horizontally past each other
  14. 24. One of four spheres; the sphere of rocks, dirt and soil
  15. 26. A fault where two plates are pulled in opposite directions, with one side dropping down
  16. 28. An igneous rock created by low viscosity magma and high temperatures
