Clues
- Ash flow. (11, 4)
- Line drawn on maps to show equal strength of earthquake waves. (10, 4)
- Magma injected into the crust which fails to reach the surface, unlike a volcano, which cools slowly underground forming batholiths, laccoliths, dykes and sills. (9, 11)
- Plates meeting at an oblique angle, with horizontal movement e.g. California. (12, 6)
- Porous and permeable rocks store water underground and if these are in a seismically active zone, the water in pores may be under pressure. (4, 5, 8)
- Produces features such as composite volcanoes, fold mountains, deep sea trenches and island arcs e.g. the Caribbean. (11, 6)
- Produces features such as ocean ridges, shield volcano, fissures, faults and rift valleys. (12, 6)
- The mechanism by which new sea floor crust is created at ridges in divergence zones and adjacent plates are moved apart to make room. (3, 5, 9)
- The narrow crust of the earth which forms the outer layer is made of at least 16 rigid areas called plates. (12, 5)
- The study of geological reversals of the polarity of the Earth. (15)
