Layers of the Earth Vocabulary 2023-10-19

Layers of the Earth Vocabulary crossword puzzle
Across
  1. a mechanism that helps power plate tectonics. The cooling, dense oceanic slab sinks at a subduction zone and pulls the rest of the plate with it.
  2. Type of plate boundary where the plates move apart as magma rises to the surface from the asthenosphere.Ex: Mid-ocean ridges; mid-atlantic ridge, East Africa Rift
  3. Type of plate boundary where plates move toward each other. One plate sinks beneath another along a subduction zone. Descending plate melts, gnerating magma. No subduction zone for two continental plates colliding. Ex: Chile and the West coast of South America, Japan
  4. the record of the orientation of the magnetic poles with respect to the rock being studied - Remnant magnetism in ancient rocks
  5. This layer of the mantle makes up the greatest volume of the earth. It is solid.
  6. Middle layer of the mantle. This layer is “plastic” – the rock is soft and weak, so it is in this layer that the heat convection currents can flow. This powers plate tectonics.
  7. the outermost layer of the earth which makes up the ocean floor. Thin and dense enough to be subducted.
  8. This is solid iron-nickel material
  9. a mechanism that helps power plate tectonics. The creation of new oceanic crust at divergent margins (mid-ocean ridges) pushes the plates away from each other.
Down
  1. theory that the lithosphere is divided into rigid plates that move over the asthenosphere. Movement is on a global scale, resulting in continental drift and changing the shape, size and location of continents and ocean basins.
  2. Crust plus Upper mantle. This makes up the tectonic plates
  3. the outermost layer of the earth. Thick crust, less dense so may not be subducted.
  4. the magnetic and geographic north and south poles are located at approximately the same place. This is the current day orientation of the magnetic field.
  5. Type of plate boundary where the plates slide sideways past each other. Example is the San Andreas Fault.
  6. An idea before plate tectonics that showed that the continents had all fit together into a giant supercontinent (Pangaea) at some point in the past. Continents had somehow moved through the oceans to their present position. Did not provide a mechanism for movement of the continents.
  7. the idea that new oceanic crust is created at divergent plate margins. The ocean crust and continental crust move together as a unit.
  8. Solid mantle material
  9. the magentic north and south poles reverse positions. Magnetic north pole coincides with geographic south pole

18 Clues: Solid mantle materialThis is solid iron-nickel materialCrust plus Upper mantle. This makes up the tectonic platesThis layer of the mantle makes up the greatest volume of the earth. It is solid.the outermost layer of the earth. Thick crust, less dense so may not be subducted....

Plate Tectonics Vocabulary Practice 2025-12-12

Plate Tectonics Vocabulary Practice crossword puzzle
Across
  1. The region where two tectonic plates meet; interactions here (convergent, divergent, transform) produce earthquakes, volcanism, and mountain building.
  2. extremely deep areas in the ocean that are created when one tectonic plate is pushed below another.
  3. The thicker, less dense crust that makes up the continents; composed mainly of granitic rocks and generally older than oceanic crust.
  4. A plate boundary where two plates slide past each other horizontally, commonly generating strike-slip earthquakes.
  5. The thinner, denser type of Earth’s crust that forms most ocean floor; primarily basaltic in composition and continually created at mid-ocean ridges.
  6. The process by which new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges as magma rises, cools, and pushes older crust away from the ridge, driving plate motion.
  7. Vibration or shaking of the ground, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action.
  8. A large, mobile slab of lithosphere that carries continental and/or oceanic crust and interacts with other plates at its boundaries.
  9. a crack in Earth's surface caused by moving tectonic plates
Down
  1. The slow, heat-driven circulation of mantle material that transfers thermal energy and exerts forces on the base of tectonic plates, contributing to their motion.
  2. A plate boundary where two plates move apart from each other; often associated with seafloor spreading, mid-ocean ridges, and formation of new oceanic crust.
  3. A convergent boundary where one plate (usually oceanic) sinks beneath another into the mantle, leading to deep ocean trenches, intense earthquakes, and volcanic arcs.
  4. A ductile, partially molten region of the upper mantle beneath the lithosphere that allows tectonic plates to move because it can flow slowly.
  5. The rigid outer layer of Earth composed of the crust and the uppermost mantle; it is broken into tectonic plates that move relative to one another.
  6. A plate boundary where two plates move toward each other; this can produce subduction zones, continental collisions, volcanic arcs, and mountain ranges.
  7. a mountain or hill with a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas are being (or have been) erupted from the earth's crust.
  8. An underwater mountain chain formed at divergent boundaries where upwelling magma creates new oceanic crust and elevated topography along the spreading center.
  9. The pattern of symmetrical, alternating magnetic polarity recorded in oceanic crust on either side of mid-ocean ridges; evidence for seafloor spreading and past geomagnetic reversals.
  10. The unifying theory that explains the large-scale motions of Earth’s lithosphere through interactions of tectonic plates, accounting for the distribution of earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain ranges, and oceanic
  11. Point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus
