Across
- 1. stress that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions
- 6. the pattern of lines by an earthquake
- 8. move more slowly than p waves and s waves
- 10. a single number that geologists assign to an earthquake based on its size
- 11. seismic waves that compress and expand the ground like an accordian
- 12. the rocks on either side of the fault slip past each other sideways
- 13. the stress force that pulls on the crust and things rock in the middle
- 14. a large area of flat land elevated high above sea level
Down
- 2. the point on the surface directly above the surface
- 3. the fault cuts through rock at an angle so one bloc of Rick sits over the fault
- 4. the area beneath the Earth's surface where rocks are under stress
- 5. the stress force that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks
- 7. has the same structure as a normal fault but the blocks move in the reverse direction
- 9. seismic waves that can vibrate from side to side
- 12. an instrument that records and measures an earthquakes seismic waves
