Across
- 6. view or drawing that shows what the inside of something looks like after a cut has been made across it.
- 9. tectonic boundary where two plates are moving toward each other.
- 10. plate:massive slab of solid Plate:geology the study of the structure of the earth's crust and mantle with reference to the theory that the earth's lithosphere is divided into large rigid blocks.
- 13. an oceanic plate runs into a continental plate and slides beneath itrock made up of Earth's lithosphere (crust and upper mantle)
- 14. all the Earth.
- 16. used to record the motion of the ground during an earthquake.
- 18. measure of the size of an earthquake based on observation of the effects of the shock at the earth's surface.
- 19. mostly-solid bulk of Earth's interior.
- 20. where two plates move away from each other
- 21. the place inside Earth's crust where an earthquake originates.
- 22. on the surface of the Earth that is directly above the underground point (called the focus) where fault rupture commences, producing an earthquake.
Down
- 1. super massive wave
- 2. or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock.
- 3. boundary: A tectonic boundary where two plates are moving toward each other.
- 4. a measurement of earthquakes.
- 5. wave:shock waves in solid rock generated by earthquakes or underground explosions.
- 7. drift:the movement of continents resulting from the motion of tectonic plates
- 8. large continuous mass of land conventionally regarded as a collective region.
- 11. type of fault in which two tectonic plates slide past one another.
- 12. extremely hot center of Earth, another planet, or a star
- 15. outermost shell of a terrestrial planet.
- 17. release of energy through the earth's crust in the form of seismic waves.
