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