A hot, malleable semi-liquid zone in the upper mantle, directly underneath the lithosphere, on which the plates of the lithosphere move (or float).
A trembling and shaking of the earth's surface resulting from the sudden release of energy in the crust, either along fault lines or from volcanic activity.
The innermost layer of the earth, an extremely hot, solid sphere of mostly iron and nickel. The inner core is 3,200 to 3,960 miles (5,150 to 6,378 km) below the surface and about 750 miles (1,200 km) thick.
This layer of the earth lies between the mantle and the solid inner core. It is the only liquid layer, a sea of mostly iron and nickel about 1,400 miles (2,300 km) thick.
The type of crust lying under the oceans of the world. It is only 4 to 6 miles (7 to 10 km) thick and usually younger than continental crust.
The boundary that occurs where two plates slide past each other.
Hard and rigid, the earth's outermost and thinnest layer. It is only a few miles (5 km) thick under the oceans and averages 20 miles (30 km) thick under the continents.
The place where one plate is getting bent and pulled under the edge of another plate.
The name given to the supercontinent that existed more than 225 million years ago, in which the present-day continents were joined together in one large landmass.
Made up of the crust and a tiny bit of the upper mantle, this zone is divided into several constantly (very slowly) moving plates of solid rock that hold the continents and oceans.

Down

A crack or fracture in Earth's crust where two tectonic plates grind past each other in a horizontal direction.
Boundary The boundary that occurs where two plates are moving apart from each other.
A huge ocean wave caused by a sudden, powerful shift on the ocean floor, like an undersea earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption.
The process that forms new ocean floor and oceanic crust. Magma oozes up from the mantle through a crack in the ocean floor, filling in the space between the plates and spreading out from the plate boundary.
This dense layer of the earth is made of hot, semisolid rock and is located directly below the crust. It is about 1,800 miles (2,900 km) thick.
Boundary The boundary that occurs where two plates are pushing toward each other.
Several large slabs of the lithosphere that hold the continents and oceans and are slowly but constantly moving around the earth.
The border between two tectonic plates.
A deep valley that forms at the edge of a continent when an oceanic plate sinks underneath a continental plate.
Molten rock that flows beneath the earth's surface and is made up of gases, liquids, and crystals. When magma reaches the surface, it is called lava.
A raised area or mountain range under the oceans formed when magma fills the space between two tectonic plates that are spreading apart.
Crust A layer of the earth's crust that lies under the seven continents. It is about 20 to 40 miles (35 to 70 km) thick and very old.
Zone The place where a collision between two continental plates crunches and folds the rocks at the boundary, lifting them up and leading to mountain formation.
A dropped zone where two tectonic plates are pulling apart.

The Earth System 2023-03-13

Across

The dynamic, interconnected set of physical, chemical, biological, and human components that interact to shape the Earth's environment and determine its state over time.
A region of space surrounding a magnet or a moving electric charge that exerts a magnetic force on other magnets or moving charges. The Earth has a magnetic field generated by the motion of molten iron in its core, which helps to protect the planet from harmful solar radiation.
A layer located in the Earth's mantle beneath the lithosphere. This layer has the ability to flow and deform in a manner similar to plastic when subjected to stress, which means that it can change shape without breaking. It is situated at a depth of approximately 100-200 kilometres beneath the Earth's surface.
The central part of the Earth, divided into an outer core and an inner core. The outer core is liquid and surrounds the solid inner core, and both are composed primarily of iron and nickel. The core generates the Earth's magnetic field.
The scientific study of the Earth's shape, gravity field, and rotation, as well as its orientation and position in space. Geodesy uses techniques such as satellite-based positioning and precise measurements of distances and angles.
Tectonic System The theory that the Earth's outermost layer (the lithosphere) is broken into several plates that move around on the underlying asthenosphere. The plate tectonic system is responsible for many geological phenomena, including earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain ranges.
The preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms, typically found in rocks or sediments. Fossils provide important information about the history of life on Earth.
The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid, such as a gas or liquid, due to differences in density caused by temperature variations. Convection is an important mechanism for the transfer of heat within the Earth's mantle and core.
Layer between Earth's mantle and inner core made of liquid iron and nickel, approximately 2,300 kilometres thick with an average temperature of 4,000 degrees Celsius. Movement of molten metals generates the Earth's magnetic field, which protects the planet from harmful radiation and is essential for life.
A fundamental concept in geology that states that the same physical, chemical, and biological processes that operate in the present also operated in the past. This principle allows geologists to interpret the past by studying present-day processes and their effects on the Earth's surface.

Down

A complex, interconnected system of physical, chemical, biological, and human components that interact to shape the Earth's environment and determine its state over time.
A systematic approach to understanding the natural world through observation, hypothesis testing, and experimentation. The scientific method is used to develop and refine scientific theories, which are explanations of natural phenomena supported by evidence.
The solid, central part of the Earth's core, consisting primarily of iron and nickel. It is surrounded by the liquid outer core and generates the Earth's magnetic field.
The thin outermost layer of the Earth, ranging from 5-70 km in thickness, that comprises the continents and ocean basins. It is composed of relatively low-density rocks such as granite and basalt.
The layer of the Earth between the crust and the core. The mantle is composed of solid rock, but it can flow slowly over long periods of time. It is divided into the upper and lower mantle based on differences in physical properties.
The scientific study of the Earth's physical structure, composition, history, and processes, including the study of rocks, minerals, fossils, and other geological materials.
The complex interplay of physical, chemical, biological, and human factors that determine the Earth's climate, including the atmosphere, oceans, land surfaces, ice sheets, and living organisms.
A vibration that travels through the Earth in response to an earthquake or other seismic event. Seismic waves provide valuable information about the interior structure of the Earth, including the location and nature of seismic discontinuities.
The process by which the Earth's magnetic field is generated by the motion of molten iron in the outer core. The geodynamo is driven by convection and plays a crucial role in protecting the Earth from harmful solar radiation.
The collection of rocks, minerals, fossils, and other materials that provide a record of the Earth's history, including its geological, biological, and environmental evolution over billions of years.
The rigid outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. It is divided into a series of large plates that move and interact with each other along boundaries.
The physical features of the Earth's surface, including mountains, valleys, and plains. Topography is influenced by a variety of factors, including tectonic activity, erosion, and climate.
The long-term average of weather patterns in a particular region, including measures such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind, and atmospheric pressure.
