Honors Processes of Earth crossword puzzle
Across
  1. occurs when two plates collide and the denser plate is pulled into the mantle
  2. forms when an oceanic plate collides with another plate
  3. this happens to rock and turns into magma or lava
  4. feature of the ocean floor where new seafloor is created
  5. boundary where 2 plates move past each other
  6. forms when two continental plates collide
  7. type of rock formed when sediment is compacted and cemented
  8. rock formed when magma and lava cools and hardens
  9. creates sediment
  10. a hot plume of mantle pushes up in the center of the plate creating a volcanic island like Hawaii
  11. pieces of rock created that have been broken down
  12. occurs when large numbers of trees are removed from one area at the same time
Down
  1. occurs when the population of an area increases drastically
  2. rock that is formed when a rock is exposed to intense pressure and heat without melting
  3. drops sediment in a new location
  4. boundary where 2 plates collide
  5. layer where convection currents occur that move the tectonic plate
