tectonics
Across
- 2. A vent in the surface of the Earth through which magma erupts; it is also the land form that is constructed by the erupted material
- 4. A steep-sided mount that forms when very viscous lava is extruded from a volcanic vent
- 7. Cinders are lava fragments about 1 centimeter in diameter
- 9. The maximum height of a wave crest or depth of a trough
- 11. A risk. An object or situation that has the possibility of injury or damage
- 12. The layer of rock that lies between the crust and the outer core of the Earth
Down
- 1. is lava that has a rough, jagged, spiny, and generally clinkery surface.
- 3. An abrupt movement of soil and bedrock downhill in response to gravity
- 5. A weak point in the Earth's crust and upper mantle where the rock layers have ruptured and slipped
- 6. One of the huge sections which make up the Earth's crust
- 8. Fragments less than 2 millimeters (about 1/8 inch) in diameter of lava or rock blasted into the air by volcanic explosions.
- 10. The flowing mixture of water and debris that forms on the slopes of a volcano.
- 12. Molten rock containing liquids, crystals, and dissolved gases that forms within the upper part of the Earth's mantle and crust
