Across
  1. 1. The energy waves that are released by earthquakes Seismic
  2. 5. The amount of mass that an object has in a defined area (volume)
  3. 6. Anything that has mass and takes up space
  4. 9. All of the rock at and below Earth's surface
  5. 10. The solid/rigid mechanical layer of Earth that is made of the crust and the upper mantle
  6. 13. This is a process in which more dense materials of a planet sink to the center, while less dense materials stay on the surface
  7. 16. Core The (mechanical) layer of Earth that is liquid iron/nickel
  8. 17. The solid, non-flowing (mechanical) layer that makes up the lower mantle. Means "middle-layer
  9. 18. The amount of space an object takes up
  10. 19. Seismic wave that is the second to arrive and can only travel through solids
Down
  1. 2. The thick, middle layer in the solid part of Earth (compositional)
  2. 3. Seismic wave that is the first to arrive and can travel through solids and liquids (P-wave)
  3. 4. Core The (mechanical) layer of Earth that is under so much pressure that it remains solid iron/nickel
  4. 7. The (5) layers of Earth that are defined on their physical properties (how they move, strength)
  5. 8. The branch of geology concerned with the magnetic field of the earth
  6. 11. Information gathered by noticing facts and occurrences using your five senses
  7. 12. Earth's outermost layer (compositional)
  8. 14. The dense, metallic center of Earth (compositional)
  9. 15. The mechanical layer below the lithosphere that, while still solid, flows like plastic or putty
