Across
- 2. Theory for how energy gets released during an earthquake
- 3. type of wave that goes through the earth, can go through liquids, solids, and gasses
- 5. Person who studies earthquakes that had occured throughout history
- 10. relatively small quakes that occur before a quake
- 13. The underground focus point of an earthquake
- 14. Product of an earthquake moving along the ocean floor
- 15. similar to foreshocks except they happen after the earthquake
- 18. the middle of earth, under the outer core
- 19. under the mantle and part of the core as a whole
- 20. Predictions that use the area's history with earthquakes to predict when one will occur
- 21. A measurement tool that uses a weight and a writing instrument on a string
- 22. outermost layer of earth
- 24. Scale that uses observed effects to measure the strength of an earthquake
Down
- 1. Another type of wave to go through the earth. Only goes through solids
- 4. When the earth shakes so violently that it reduces the strength of the soil
- 6. scale used to measure the intensity of earthquakes
- 7. Person who studies earthquakes and their strength
- 8. Scale that uses total moment release to measure the strength of an earthquake
- 9. right under the crust
- 11. Waves that are trapped near the surface of the earth
- 12. area on the surface right above the hypocenter
- 16. Makes it easier to make predictions using an area's previous history with earthquakes
- 17. short range forecasts based on foreshocks and other various things
- 23. The cracks that go between two blocks of earth.
