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