Across
  1. 3. The point beneath Earth's surface where rock breaks under stress and causes an earthquake
  2. 4. a naturally occurring, inorganic solid that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition
  3. 10. A device that records ground movements caused by seismic waves as they move through Earth
  4. 11. a rock formed by the crystallization of molten magma
  5. 12. A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.
  6. 13. a fracture in Earth along which movement has occurred
  7. 14. the transportation of material by a mobile agent, such as wind, water, or ice
  8. 15. A body of molten rock found at depth, including any dissolved gases and crystals.
  9. 18. The soft upper layer of the mantle just below the lithosphere. Lithospheric plates float on top of it.
  10. 19. A naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals or organic matter
  11. 21. A natural resource that can be replaced at the same or below rate at which the resource is consumed
  12. 23. A plate boundary where two plates move toward each other.
  13. 24. loose particles created by weathering and erosion of rock
  14. 26. rock formed from the weathered products of preexisting rocks that have been transported, deposited, compacted and cemented.
Down
  1. 1. the process by which plate tectonics produces new oceanic lithosphere at ocean ridges
  2. 2. A natural resource that is consumed faster or above the rate in which it is replaced.
  3. 5. the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
  4. 6. the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake
  5. 7. The process in which rock is physically broken into smaller pieces; no change in rock composition.
  6. 8. rock formed by the alteration of preexisting, solid rock deep within the Earth by heat, pressure, and/or chemically active fluids
  7. 9. A plate boundary where two plates move past each other in opposite directions
  8. 16. The process in which rock is broken down by chemical reactions; changes the rock's molecular composition
  9. 17. A liquid's resistance to flowing -or- the thickness of a liquid
  10. 20. a concentration of heat in the mantle capable of producing magma, which rises to Earth's surface
  11. 22. vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake
  12. 25. magma that reaches Earth's surface
