Down
  1. 1. Occurs on the surface of the crust as rock is stressed and strained.
  2. 2. The squeezing of rock at a convergent plate boundary.
  3. 3. Surface wave and most destructive they move in a rolling motion.
  4. 5. Instrument used by geologists to track the speed of seismic waves.
  5. 6. Type of boundary where plates are moving apart from each other.
  6. 8. Shearing takes place at this type of fault associated with transform boundaries.
  7. 9. A type of fault where compression forces the hanging wall to move up.
  8. 11. A type of fault where tension causes the hanging wall to move down.
