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