Plate Techtonics

2. Zone / The area of the Earth through which faulting occurred during an earthquake.
7. volcano / An active volcano that is in repose (quiescence) but is expected to erupt in the future.
8. Likes to chase mice
12. Man's best friend
13. Flying mammal
15. / An earthquake which follows a larger earthquake or main shock and originates in or near the rupture zone of the larger earthquake.
16. / A small tremor that commonly precedes a larger earthquake or main shock by seconds to weeks and that originates in or near the rupture zone of the larger earthquake.
17. Has a trunk
18. / lava fragments about 1 centimeter (about 1/2 inch) in diameter
20. cone / A steep-sided volcano formed by the explosive eruption of cinders that form around a vent.
21. / Molten rock containing liquids, crystals, and dissolved gases that forms within the upper part of the Earth's mantle and crust.
22. / A vent (opening) in the surface of the Earth through which magma erupts; it is also the landform that is constructed by the erupted material.
23. / The term used for magma once it has erupted onto the Earth's surface.

1. boundary / The place where two or more plates in the Earth's crust meet.
3. / Shaking of the Earth caused by a sudden movement of rock beneath its surface.
4. / That point on the Earth's surface directly above the hypocenter of an earthquake.
5. rocks / Sometimes sedimentary and igneous rocks are subject to pressures so intense or heat so high that they are completely changed.
6. Large marsupial
9. / Volcanic rock (or lava) that characteristically is light in color, contains 69 percent silica or more, and is rich in potassium and sodium.
10. / An abrupt movement of soil and bedrock downhill in response to gravity.
11. / hat point within the Earth from which originates the first motion of an earthquake and its elastic waves; where the break in the fault actually occurred.
14. / One or a series of huge sea waves caused by earthquakes or other large-scale disturbance of the ocean floor.
19. Zone / A region in which earthquakes are known to occur.
21. / The layer of rock that lies between the crust and the outer core of the Earth
