Across
- 3. boundary, occurs when plates move towards each other and collide
- 4. wave, a wave of energy that travels through the Earth and away from an earthquake in all directions
- 8. is a fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock
- 11. is a channel for conveying water or other fluid
- 14. boundary, occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other
- 15. the point on the earth's surface vertically above the focus of an earthquake
- 16. zone, is a collision between two of Earth's tectonic plates, where one plate sinks into the mantle underneath the other plate
Down
- 1. hot molten or semifluid rock erupted from a volcano or fissure, or solid rock resulting from cooling of this
- 2. a mountain or hill, typically conical, having a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas are being or have been erupted from the earth's crust
- 5. is not expected to ever erupt again
- 6. hot fluid or semifluid material below or within the earth's crust from which lava and other igneous rock is formed on cooling
- 7. a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action
- 9. a long high sea wave caused by an earthquake or submarine landslide
- 10. is the outermost shell of a planet
- 12. plates, are pieces of Earth's crust and uppermost mantle, together referred to as the lithosphere
- 13. boundary, is a place where plates slide sideways past each other
- 14. have not erupted for a very long time but may erupt at a future time
