Across
  1. 5. - the layer under the lithosphere that flows and causes the movement of plate tectonics.
  2. 7. Has a trunk
  3. 8. - a place in the middle of a tectonic plate where hot magma rises from deep inside the Earth, often forming volcanoes.
  4. 9. Crust - the thick part of the Earth’s crust that forms the land.
  5. 11. - a type of plate boundary where two plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise and create new crust.
  6. 12. - the process where eroded materials are dropped off in a new location.
  7. 13. - the supercontinent, Greek for “all the earth”.
  8. 14. - when magma cools, it crystallizes to form igneous rocks.
  9. 15. - rocks that form when heat and pressure change existing rocks.
  10. 19. - when rocks inside the Earth are exposed to intense heat.
  11. 21. - a type of plate boundary where two plates slide past each other, which can cause earthquakes.
  12. 25. Ridge - an underwater mountain range formed by divergent plates.
  13. 26. Crust - the thinner part of Earth’s crust that lies beneath the ocean.
  14. 28. Drift - a hypothesis developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912 that proposed that the Earth’s continents had once been joined as a single landmass that broke apart and sent the continents adrift.
  15. 29. Trench - a deep, narrow valley in the ocean floor where one plate is pushed under another.
  16. 31. - the type of weathering that breaks down rocks through a chemical reaction.
  17. 32. - the process of rocks breaking down from physical, biological, or chemical processes.

Down
  1. 1. - rocks that are formed from cooling magma or lava.
  2. 2. - as sediments settle and build layers, the process that forms sedimentary rocks.
  3. 3. - the process that moves sediments to different places.
  4. 4. Tectonic - the crust is made up into large pieces that move slowly over time.
  5. 6. - The process where one tectonic plate is ford beneath another at a convergent boundary.
  6. 10. - a mountain or opening in the Earth’s surface where magma, ash, and gasses escape from below.

  14. 22. - the type of weathering that breaks down rocks without changing their chemical composition.
  15. 23. - the crust and part of the upper mantle that makes up the plate tectonics.
  16. 24. - the type of weathering caused by plants, animals, or other life.
  17. 27. - rocks that form from the compaction of sediments.
  18. 30. Large marsupial
