Down: 1) the point beneath Earth's surface where rock breaks under stress and causes an earthquake2) a type of fault where the hanging wall slides upward; caused by compression in the crust4) an upward fold in rock formed by compression of Earth's crust5) a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume8) the shaking that results from the movement of rock beneath beneath the Earth's surface9) a type of fault where rocks on either side move past each other sideways with little up-or-down motion12) the point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus13) a scale that rates earthquakes according to their intensity and how much damage they cause at a particular place14) a downward fold in rock formed by compression in Earth's crust15) a type of seismic wave that moves the ground up and down or side to side Across: 3) vibrations that travel theough Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake6) a type of seismic wave that forms when P waves and S waves reach Earth's surface7) the block of rock that forms the lower half of a fault9) stress that pushes masses of rock in opposite directions, in a sideways movement10) a device that records ground movements caused by seismic waves as they move through the Earth11) a scale that rates earthquakes by estimating the total energy released by an earthquake16) a landform that has high elevation and a more or less level surface17) the measurement of an earthquake's strength based on seismic waves and movement along faults18) stress that stretches rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle19) a type of fault where the hanging wall slides downward; caused by tension in the crust 20) the block of rock that forms the upper half of a fault21) a scale that rates an earthquake's strength based on the size of its seismic waves22) a type of seismic wave that compresses and expands the ground23) stress that squeezes rock until it breaks
