contour lines crust topographic map core lithosphere mantle plate tectonics earthquake epicenter fault focus magma seismic waves A point underground where the faulting in an earthquake happens
4
contour lines crust topographic map core lithosphere mantle plate tectonics earthquake epicenter fault focus magma seismic waves A map that shows the shape of surface features and their elevations
5
contour lines crust topographic map core lithosphere mantle plate tectonics earthquake epicenter fault focus magma seismic waves A crack in Earth’s crust along which movement takes place
6
contour lines crust topographic map core lithosphere mantle plate tectonics earthquake epicenter fault focus magma seismic waves Lines on a topographic map that show areas with the same elevation
7
contour lines crust topographic map core lithosphere mantle plate tectonics earthquake epicenter fault focus magma seismic waves Earth’s most innermost structure; the center
8
contour lines crust topographic map core lithosphere mantle plate tectonics earthquake epicenter fault focus magma seismic waves Violent shaking of Earth’s crust as built-up energy is released
9
contour lines crust topographic map core lithosphere mantle plate tectonics earthquake epicenter fault focus magma seismic waves The thinner, uppermost layer of the Earth; rocky outer layer of Earth that makes up the continents and the ocean floor
10
contour lines crust topographic map core lithosphere mantle plate tectonics earthquake epicenter fault focus magma seismic waves The thick layer of Earth’s structure just below Earth’s crust
11
contour lines crust topographic map core lithosphere mantle plate tectonics earthquake epicenter fault focus magma seismic waves The idea that giant plates of rock are moving slowly across Earth’s surface

14
contour lines crust topographic map core lithosphere mantle plate tectonics earthquake epicenter fault focus magma seismic waves Area where Earth’s solid upper mantle and crust combine to form a rigid (hard) shell
15
contour lines crust topographic map core lithosphere mantle plate tectonics earthquake epicenter fault focus magma seismic waves Waves of energy sent through Earth’s crust when plates move suddenly
