Down |
1. | stress that stretches rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle |
2. | point beneath Earth’s surface where rock breaks under stress and causes an earthquake |
3. | bend in rock that forms where part of Earth’s crust is compressed |
5. | a vibration that travels through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake |
6. | a type of fault where the hanging wall slides upward |
7. | type of fault where rocks on either side move past each other sideways with little up-or-down motion |
11. | scale that rates seismic waves as measured by a particular type of mechanical seismograph |
13. | a type of seismic wave that forms when P waves and S waves reach Earth’s surface |
14. | type of fault where the hanging wall slides downward; caused by tension in the crust |
15. | a downward fold in rock formed by compression in Earth’s crust |
17. | block of rock that forms the lower half of a fault |
18. | an earthquake that occurs after a larger earthquake in the same area |
19. | the point on Earth’s surface directly above an earthquake’s focus |
20. | type of seismic wave that compresses and expands the ground |
22. | a break in Earth’s crust where slabs of rock slip past each other |
23. | large area of flat land elevated high above sea level |
