Across
- 1. A liquid's resistance to flowing -or- the thickness of a liquid
- 6. a concentration of heat in the mantle capable of producing magma, which rises to Earth's surface
- 8. the rigid outer part of the earth,
- 10. A body of molten rock found at depth, including any dissolved gases and crystal
- 11. The point beneath Earth's surface where rock breaks under stress and causes an earthquake
- 14. the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake
- 16. a naturally occurring, inorganic solid that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition
- 17. The soft upper layer of the mantle just below the lithosphere.
- 20. rock formed by the alteration of preexisting, solid rock deep within the Earth
- 22. A plate boundary where two plates move toward each other.
- 23. a fracture in Earth along which movement has occurred
- 24. A device that records ground movements caused by seismic waves as they move through Earth
- 25. A plate boundary where two plates move past each other in opposite directions
Down
- 2. loose particles created by weathering and erosion of rock
- 3. a rock formed by the crystallization of molten magma
- 4. A natural resource that can be replaced at the same or below rate at which the resource is consumed
- 5. A natural resource that is consumed faster or above the rate in which it is replaced.
- 7. rock formed from the weathered products of preexisting rocks
- 9. the process by which plate tectonics produces new oceanic lithosphere at ocean ridges
- 12. The process in which rock is broken down by chemical reactions; changes the rock's molecular composition
- 13. vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake
- 15. A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.
- 18. magma that reaches Earth's surface
- 19. A naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals or organic matter
- 21. the transportation of material by a mobile agent, such as wind, water, or ice
