Chapter 11 - The Earth
Across
- 2. looping heat currents that moves rock & plates
- 3. a process of rock being gradually deposited. Eventually the loose sediments compress & combine to form sedimentary rock.
- 4. an inorganic (not alive) compound existing as a solid with a regularly repeating internal structure
- 6. four layers & 1800 mi. thick,denser than crust
- 7. a solid combination of one or more minerals found in the Earth’s crust
- 9. forms from hot molten rock that cools & solidifies
- 11. Ridge is an example of divergent plate boundaries
- 13. drift is the slow movement of techtonic plates
- 14. the inner core, mostly liquid iron with two parts
- 15. boundaries occur when two plates come together
- 16. boundaries occur when two plates slide past each other
- 17. molten rock that has surfaced
- 19. are common along convergent boundaries
Down
- 1. the part of the earth related to land
- 4. rock is pressed and transforms its shape
- 5. plates are irregular in shape & are mostly rock
- 8. rock is made from deposits of igneous & metamorphic rock
- 10. minerals are used only one time
- 12. boundaries occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other
- 18. molten rock beneath the earth
