Earthquakes

2. The second waves to be felt from an earthquake that shakes the ground left and right.
4. Mountains formed when two plates collide and the edges crumble and fold.
6. The turning of moist sediment into mud during an earthquake.
9. Long oceanic wave generated by the sudden uplift of the ocean floor from an earthquake.
11. Scale created to rate earthquakes according to the level of damage caused in a specific region.
12. Fault caused from shearing stress as rocks are sliding past each other.
13. Stress that causes rocks to push or squeeze against one another.
15. Mountains formed when rock in the middle of a plate break apart and move upwards.
16. Fault caused from tension stress as rocks are pulled apart.

1. Scale created to rate earthquakes according to their magnitude based on the size of the seismic waves.
2. Stress that causes rocks to be pushed and slip in different directions.
3. magnitude Scale created to rate earthquakes according to the level of damage caused in a specific region.
5. Mountains formed when a tectonic plate is being spread apart.
7. Stress that causes rocks to pull apart.
8. Fault caused from compression stress as rocks are squeezed.
10. The first waves to be felt from an earthquake that shake the ground forward and backwards.
14. wave Seismic waves that move slowly and make the ground roll like ocean waves.
