Across
  1. 3. A longitudinal earthquake wave that travels through the interior of the earth and is usually the first wave to be recorded by a seismograph.
  2. 5. Is a type of map characterized by large-scale detail and quantitative representation of relief, usually using contour lines.
  3. 9. The heat transfers due to bulk movement of molecules within fluids such as gases and liquids, including molten rock.
  4. 13. Is the analysis of the relationships between different physical quantities by identifying their base quantities and units of measure.
  5. 14. Is exactly the opposite of normal faults.
  6. 15. Is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock, across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movement.
Down
  1. 1. Is a layer inside a terrestrial planet and some other rocky planetary
  2. 2. Is an underwater mountain system formed by plate tectonics. It consists of various mountains linked in chains.
  3. 4. Is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth.
  4. 6. The Earth is a fluid layer about 2,300 km (1,400 mi) thick and composed of mostly iron and nickel.
  5. 7. A geologic fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall.
  6. 8. Is a secondary wave where the wave is elastic in body waves.
  7. 10. Where the plates slide sideways past each other.
  8. 11. A record produced by a seismograph.
  9. 12. boundaries: The plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary.
