- 11. the point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's starting point
- 13. motion occurs where 2 plates pull away from each other
Down
- 1. motion occurs where 2 plates slip past each other
- 4. a tracing of earthquake motion that is created by a seismograph
- 6. motion occurs where 2 plates push together
- 7. gap an area along a fault where relatively few earthquakes have occurred recently but where strong earthquakes have occurred in the past
- 8. hypothesis a hypothesis that is based on the idea that a major earthquake is more than likely to occur along the part of an active fault where no earthquakes have occurred in a long period of time
