Across
- 2. Shaking of Earth's crust
- 5. Heat from below Earth's surface
- 6. The sliding of denser ocean plate under another plate when they collide
- 11. Magma that reaches Earth's surface and flows out a vent
- 12. A huge crack in Earth's crust
- 14. Hot, molten rock below Earth's surface
- 15. A wide, gently sloped cone that forms from flows of lava
- 17. The point on Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake
- 19. horizontal layers
- 21. drift The idea that a super-continent split apart into pieces, the continents, which drifted in time to their present location
- 23. The idea that Earth's surface is broken into plates that slide slowly across the mantle
Down
- 1. A very hot part of the Earth's mantle
- 3. The central opening in a volcanic area through which magma may escape
- 4. A vibration that spreads out away from a focus when an earthquake happens
- 7. Earth's solid,rocky surface
- 8. The idea that new crust is forming at ridges in the sea floor, spreading apart the crust on either side of the ridges
- 9. A sensitive device that detects the shaking of Earth's crust during an earthquake
- 10. The amount of energy released by an earthquake
- 13. A steep-sided cone that forms from explosive eruptions of hot rocks, ranging from partials to boundaries
- 16. A cup-like hollow that forms at the top of a volcano around the vent
- 18. A cone formed from explosive eruptions of hot rocks followed by a flow of lava, over and over
- 20. The layer beneath Earth's crust
- 22. The point where an earthquake starts as rocks begin to slide past each other
