Across
- 3. Seismic waves that travel through the body of a medium
- 4. The sudden return of elastically deformed rock to its undeformed shape
- 5. The point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's starting point
- 8. Seismic waves that causes particles of rock to move in a side-to-side direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling
- 9. A measure of the effects of an earthquake
- 11. The location within Earth along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs
- 12. A break in a body of rock along which one block slides relative to another
- 13. The wave-shaped lines traced from earthquake motion that is recorded by a seismograph
- 15. The fastest seismic waves which causes particles of rock to move in a back-and-forth direction parallel to the direction in which the wave is traveling
Down
- 1. A region of numerous, closely spaced faults
- 2. Vibrations formed as rock release energy when the rocks along a fault slip into new positions
- 6. A giant ocean wave produced when an earthquake's epicenter is on the ocean floor
- 7. The measure of the strength of an earthquake
- 10. A movement or trembling of the ground that is caused by a sudden release of energy when rocks along a fault move
- 14. Seismic waves that travel along the surface of a medium
- 16. An instrument that detects and records vibrations in the ground
