Across
- 4. the point on the earth’s surface directly above the focus of an earthquake
- 6. a string of volcanoes that form as the result of subduction of one oceanic plate beneath a second oceanic plate
- 7. a liquids resistance to flow
- 11. an avalanche of volcanic water and mud down the slopes of a volcano
- 12. the volcanic __________ index is a scale that rates a volcano’s destructiveness and explosive power based on the amount of matter it ejects during an eruption
- 13. a ___________ boundary is where 2 plates move towards eachother
Down
- 1. ___________ volcanism is volcanic activity associated with subduction zones, where subducted crust is melted and mixed with silicate minerals
- 2. an ___________ eruption is a type of volcanic eruption in which lava steadily flows out of a volcano onto the ground - the result of magma is thinner and less viscous
- 3. flow the rapid flow of ash and gases down the side of the volcano during an explosive eruption
- 5. the point beneath earth’s surface where rock breaks under stress and cause an earthquake
- 8. the process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle at a convergent plate boundary
- 9. extremely deep areas in the ocean that are created by a subducting plate
- 10. an __________ eruption is a violent and unpredictable eruption - the result of magma that is thicker and more viscous
