- 9. a longitudinal earthquake wave that travels through the interior of the earth and is usually the first conspicuous wave to be recorded by a seismograph.
- 11. A geologic fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall, occur where two blocks of rock are pulled apart, as by tension.
- 12. a crack in the Earth's crust.

- 1. occur in areas undergoing compression (squishing).
- 2. a current in a fluid that results from convection.
- 3. a long, seismically active submarine ridge system situated in the middle of an ocean basin and marking the site of the upwelling of magma associated with seafloor spreading.
- 4. A tectonic boundary where two plates are moving away from each other and new crust is forming from magma that rises to the Earth's surface between the two plates.
- 6. a transverse earthquake wave that travels through the interior of the earth and is usually the second conspicuous wave to reach a seismograph.
- 7. boundaries places where plates slide sideways past each other.
- 8. a type of map characterized by large-scale detail and quantitative representation of relief, usually using contour lines, but historically using a variety of methods.
- 10. a fluid layer about 1,400 miles thick and composed of mostly iron and nickel that lies above Earth's solid inner core and below its mantle.
