  3. 6. energy that travels as vibrations on and in Earth; there are three types of seismic waves: primary waves (P waves), secondary waves (S waves), and surface waves
  4. 8. a large volcano with gentle slopes of basaltic lava that is common along divergent plate boundaries and oceanic hot spots
  5. 9. a large, steep-sided volcano that results from explosive eruptions and andesitic and rhyolitic lava and ash along convergent plate boundaries
Down
  1. 1. a break in the Earth’s lithosphere where tectonic plates meet
  2. 3. the point within the Earth where an earthquake originates
  3. 5. a fast-moving wave of seawater caused by seismic activity in oceanic plates
  4. 7. a small, steep-sided volcano that erupts gas-rich, basaltic lava
