- 17. A lava that has high temperature, cools and solidifies slowly, has low viscosity and low silica content. So the lava flows quickly

Down
- 1. A crack in the earth's crust where the rock stressed by plate movements breaks and moves
- 2. A volcano that has a broad base with gentle slopes formed from basic lava
- 4. This flow occurs when gases mix with volcanic materials
- 5. A sudden vibration or tremor of the earth's surface
- 9. A volcano that consists of alternating layers of lava, ash and cinder. It has gentle slopes at its base and steeper slopes near its top
