- 3. plates: This occurs when 2 plates slide past eachother
- 8. An avalanche of volcanic ash
- 9. Likes to chase mice
- 10. That point on the earth's surface directly above the hypocenter of an earthquake
- 11. The fine grained material produced by a pyroclastic eruption
- 14. The calculated location of the focus of an earthquake
- 18. Crust: Outermost solid layer of the earth that forms the continents
- 20. The maximum height of a wave crest or depth of a trough
- 21. volcano: A volcano which is erupting.

Down
- 1. The outermost solid shell
- 4. plates: This occurs when 2 plates move apart, usually under water
- 5. tectonics: A widely accepted theory that relates most of the geologic features near the earth's surface to the movement and interaction of relatively thin rock plates
- 6. Flying mammal
- 7. An earthquake that follows a larger earthquake
- 12. plates: When plates diverge and Magma from the Mantle spews onto the Earth surface
- 13. Has a trunk
- 15. Hot fluid or semifluid material below or within the earth's crust from which lava and other igneous rock is formed by cooling
- 16. plates: When the edges of some plates move towards eachother
- 17. core: The only liquid layer of the Earth
- 19. Low amplitude, continuous earthquake activity commonly associated with magma movement
- 24. A steep-sided mass of viscous (doughy) lava extruded from a volcanic vent
- 25. A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock
