Across
1.Location within Earth that does not move, has a high temperature, and sends molten rock to Earth's surface (2 words)
4.Means "to bend"
8.Theory proposed by Alfred Wegener that stated Earth's landmasses were once one large continent but have since moved apart (2 words)
9.Point within Earth where rocks move and generate seismic waves
11.Earthquake scale that measures the amount of energy released by an earthquake
13.Transfers energy through a medium as vibrations because particles of the medium touch each other.
15.Outermost layer of Earth
17.The crust and the uppermost (rigid) mantle
18.Transfers energy through a medium due to density differences within the medium.
19.Name given to the region surrounding the Pacific Plate due to the large number of explosive volcanoes (3 words)
20.Liquid layer within Earth (2 words)
23.Seismic wave that travels slowest and only through solids
26.Earthquake scale that measures the amount of damage caused by an earthquake
27.Plate boundary where two plates move away from each other
28.Seismic wave that travels fastest and through any material
29.Thickest layer of Earth
30.Name of Alfred Wegener's supercontinent
Down
2.Theory that states Earth's lithosphere is broken up into pieces that move across Earth's surface (2 words)
3.Where new rock is formed on the ocean floor (2 words) (2 Words)
5.Partially melted (plastic) layer within Earth
6.Picture (printout) produced by a seismograph
7.The ability to do work or cause change.
10.Layer of Earth at Earth's center (2 words)
12.Plate boundary where two plates move toward each other
14.Instrument that detects seismic waves
16.Area of Earth's surface that does not detect any seismic waves (2 words)
21.Transfers energy without needing a medium as the energy is emitted in all directions away from the energy source.
22.Plate boundary where two plates rub horizontally past each other
24.Point on Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake
25.Where old rock is destroyed on the ocean floor
26.The boundary between the crust and the mantle
