Plate Tectonics
Across
- 3. A break in the Earth’s crust due to movement
- 5. A crack in the surface of the Earth
- 10. The hypothesis that states the continents broke up and drifted
- 11. Magma that flows onto the Earth's surface
- 14. A solid outer layer on Earths consisting if crust and mantle
- 16. The amount of force per unit area that acts on a rock
- 18. The process where new oceanic seafloor forms as magma rises
- 19. The process that affects the Earth and changes appearance
- 20. A spot in Earth’s mantle where hot magma rises to the surface
- 22. The bending, tilting, and break up of Earth’s crust
- 23. Type of boundary between two plates moving away from each other
- 24. A form of ductile strain where rock layers bend
Down
- 1. Liquid rock under the Earth’s surface
- 2. Ground vibrations caused by Earth’s crust moving
- 4. Below the lithosphere
- 6. Super continent containing all the Earth’s landmass
- 7. two plates that slide together
- 8. Type of boundary between two plates sliding past each other
- 9. large pieces of lithosphere that separate the Earth's crust.
- 12. Below the lithosphere
- 13. occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth's tectonic plates spread apart.
- 15. Any change in a rock’s shape or volume caused by stress
- 17. Break away caused by plate tectonics
- 21. A vent or fissure in the Earth’s surface where magma and gasses are expelled
