Across
- 2. Form when compression during plate collision folds and lifts rock layers
- 3. Larger waves on a seismogram show greater recorded ground motion
- 5. Pulls rock apart
- 6. The point on Earth’s surface directly above the focus
- 9. Relatively flat land
- 10. The slowest waves that do a rolling,up-and-down, and side-to-side movement
- 11. where two plates meet
- 13. bottom part of a fault
- 14. strike-slip fault
- 16. Stress builds as rock bends and changes shape
- 17. Pushes rock in opposite directions
- 22. A larger gap between the p-wave and s-wave arrivals means the epicenter is farther from the station and a smaller means it’s closer
- 25. Based on observations rather than an instrument, intensity can differ from place to place
- 28. Earthquake maps show that most earthquakes occur near
- 29. The instrument that detects and records seismic waves
- 30. each increase of 1 whole magnitude releases about 32 times as much energy
Down
- 1. form as tension creates normal faults and blocks move vertically
- 4. magnitude describing the earthquake’s size intensity describes the effect at a particular place
- 7. Magnitude related to the total energy released using seismic data
- 8. Frequent earthquakes and volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean associated with plate boundaries
- 12. top part of fault
- 15. Magnitude based on the size of seismic waves recorded by a seismograph
- 18. a downward fold in rock like a v
- 19. An object resists a change in it’s motion
- 20. The second fastest waves that arrive second and do a side-to-side motion
- 21. Vibrations that carry the energy released by an earthquake outward from it’s source
- 23. an upward fold in rock like an arch
- 24. The record of earthquake waves produced by a seismograph
- 26. The point inside earth where an earthquake begins
- 27. Squeezes rock together
- 28. The fastest waves that arrive first and are push-pull or compressional motion
