Crust
This is a quick shaking of the ground that happens when stored energy is suddenly let go.
Eathquake!
In this game, a small square means the rock has very little of this property.
Less Mass
An opening in the Earth's crust that lets out hot molten rock (magma/lava)
Volcano!
The layer of very hot, thick rock found just below the crust.
Mantle
This word means to break apart or tear, which is what happens to rock when too much force b
Fracture

Geology

Small Force
When a Fault Line becomes unstable, this is the main event that can happen.
Earthquake!
These are the huge, slow-moving pieces that make up the Earth's crust.
Tectonic Plates
An area of rock that is unstable and starting to move must have this being applied to it
Force
The type of break and shake you would expect when a long arrow hits a small square.
Earthquake!
The name for the currents of super-hot rock in the mantle that slowly drag the plates around.
Convection Currents
