Across
- 4. Extended openings along a line of weakness that allow magma to escape
- 7. A sudden and brief period of ground shaking
- 8. A broad volcano that is mostly made up of lava
- 10. A logarithmic scale used for measuring earthquakes based on scientific recordings of the amount of movement
- 12. The circular currents of heat in the mantle
- 13. Steps cut into hill sides to create areas of flat land
- 15. The immediate effects of the eruption, caused directly by it
- 16. Deep sections of the ocean, usually where an oceanic plate is sinking below a continental plate
- 18. A section of the earth's crust
- 19. The meeting of two plates of continental crust. They are both the same type so they meet 'head on' and buckle
- 20. A geothermal feature in which water erupts into the air under pressure
Down
- 1. Organising activities and drills so that people know what to do in an earthquake
- 2. The use of flowing water to turn turbines to generate electricity
- 3. How people react as the disaster happens and in the immediate aftermath
- 5. The outer layer of the earth
- 6. Money, food, training, and technology given by richer countries to poorer ones, either to help with an emergency or to encourage long term development
- 9. The opening—usually central and single—in a volcano, from which magma is emitted
- 11. A mega colossal volcano that erupts at least 1000km³ of material
- 14. Attempts to forecast an event—where and when it will happen—based on current knowledge
- 17. Seismic waves generated by an earthquake that pass through the earth's crust
