  1. 2. Dense, rocky material under the Earth's crust
  2. 3. The breakdown and transportation of the Earth's surface caused by running water, rain and wind

  4. 7. A word that describes rocks changed through the heat and pressure of the Earth's crust
  5. 8. The sudden release of energy within the Earth's crust that causes shaking of the ground

  7. 15. The transfer of heat by the movement of fluids
  8. 16. Limestone and sandstone are rocks formed from the compaction of __________ material
  9. 17. A fault where the compression of rocks forces the tectonic plate on one side of the fault to move up and over the other side
  10. 18. A building technique where the building is lifted above the ground (by a spring etc.) to prevent earthquake damage
