Across
  1. 5. I travel through the Earth with speed, from quakes and eruptions, I proceed. What am I?
  2. 6. Solid and dense, I sit at the centre, made of iron and nickel, I am the Earth's mentor. What am I?
  3. 7. Between the crust and core, I lie, with silicate rocks, I occupy. What am I?
  4. 9. Deep within the Earth, I begin, the starting point of the seismic din. What am I?
  5. 11. I rise high into the sky, a grey plume from a volcanic sigh. What am I?
  6. 15. When I occur, the Earth does shake, releasing magma, ash, and quake. What am I?
  7. 17. Beneath the surface, I quietly reside, molten and hot, in the Earth's side. What am I?
  8. 18. I record the Earth's tremors and shakes, capturing data for science's sake. What am I?
  9. 19. Tall and layered, I stand with pride, my eruptions can be fierce and wide. What am I?
  10. 20. I travel along the Earth's face, causing the most noticeable quake. What am I?
  11. 22. I am where plates move apart, creating new crust, a geological art. What am I?
  12. 23. I explain the Earth's shifting ground, with plates that move all around. What am I?
  13. 25. An ancient land, now split and gone, I once held continents in my throng. What am I?
  14. 26. I am where plates collide and meet, often causing one to retreat. What am I?
Down
  1. 1. Liquid and flowing, I surround the heart, in the Earth's core, I play my part. What am I?
  2. 2. I am broad and wide, with gentle slopes, my lava flows with ease. What am I?
  3. 3. I am a wave that rises high, caused by quakes beneath the sky. What am I?
  4. 4. I am where plates slide side by side, causing friction as they glide. What am I?
  5. 8. Directly above the quake's true start, I mark the spot on the Earth's chart. What am I?
  6. 10. I measure the quake's might, on a logarithmic scale, I take flight. What am I?
  7. 12. Small and steep, I rise from the ground, built from ash and debris all around. What am I?
  8. 13. I am the Earth's outer shell, rigid and strong, where tectonic plates dwell. What am I?
  9. 14. A thermal plume beneath the crust, creating islands, as I must. What am I?
  10. 16. A supercontinent of the past, where all Earth's lands were amassed. What am I?
  11. 18. I follow behind, moving side to side, slower than my counterpart, I glide. What am I?
  12. 21. I am the Earth's outermost layer, where land and sea meet in nature's fair. What am I?
  13. 24. Once I break free, I flow and I glow, from the Earth's surface, I put on a show. What am I?
  14. 27. I am the fastest, moving through the ground, compressing and expanding all around. What am I?
