Across
- 3. A long, narrow hole in the ground
- 6. An elastic wave in the earth created by an earthquake or other standards.
- 12. The motion of the mantle as it transmits warmth from the white-hot core to the delicate lithosphere.
- 15. How much of a quantity of something
- 18. A wide area that is created when the Pacific Plate slides northwestward beyond the North American Plate.
Down
- 1. A tectonic boundary where two plates are moving closer toward one another
- 2. This happens when two tectonic plates separate from one another
- 4. The point on the earth's exterior vertically beyond the direction of an earthquake.
- 5. A geologic method where tectonic plates—large slabs of earth seperate from one another.
- 7. Entrances and openings where lava and steam burst onto the Earth's surface.
- 8. Earth's outer shell is split into multiple plates that slide over the mantle
- 9. Appears along divergent plate boundaries, where the new sea base is made as the Earth's tectonic plates scatter apart
- 10. Used to document the movement of the earth during an earthquake.
- 11. The outcome of the fixed lithosphere gliding down the burning, raised asthenosphere below mid-ocean ridges.
- 13. The trembling of the surface of the Earth is caused by an impulsive release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that makes seismic waves.
- 14. A rupture or a zone of sudden movements between two blocks of rock.
- 16. The spots inside Earth's crust where an earthquake forms.
- 17. The pressure exerted by the weight of the subducted slab on the plate it is connected to
