Across
- 1. a wave that causes particles of rock to move in a back-and-forth direction parallel to the direction in which the wave is traveling
- 3. wave of energy that travels through Earth and away from an earthquake in all directions
- 5. a wave propagated along the surface of a liquid or a solid, typically on the sea or along the earth's surface (as a seismic wave)
- 7. behavior of a wave that involves turning back from a collision with a difference in material
- 8. a tracing of earthquake motion that is recorded by a seismograph
- 10. behavior of a wave that involves bending due to passing through a difference in material
- 13. a numerical scale measuring an earthquake's size and energy release
Down
- 2. the point on Earth’s surface directly above an earthquake’s starting point
- 4. area on the surface of Earth where seismographs will not detect earthquakes / waves
- 6. a fracture or zone in the Earth's crust where rocks on either side move past each other
- 8. a wave that causes particles of rock to move in a side-to-side direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling
- 9. the scientific study and recording of ground vibrations from earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and explosions using instruments called seismographs
- 11. the location within the Earth at which an earthquake begins
- 12. material through which energy may travel
