Across
  1. 2. physical features of Earth's surface
  2. 3. the study of different types of Earth science, can be inside out outside Earth, atmosphere, weather, and more
  3. 7. thicker line on topography maps, usually every 5th contour line
  4. 9. Tectonic plate that are under land masses
  5. 10. study of shape on Earth's surface and its physical features, includes their elevations
  6. 13. Tectonic Plates that are at the sea floor, not under land
  7. 14. Circular movement in the asthenosphere that moves the lithosphere, causing transform, convection, and diverging
  8. 16. process where water, ice wind, or gravity takes and moves sediments
  9. 17. huge pieces of lithosphere slowing moving on the asthenosphere, consisting of crusts and the uppermost part of the mantle
  10. 18. A mountain system in the seafloor caused by divergent boundaries
  11. 19. mechanical/chemical process that breaks sediment into smaller pieces
  12. 20. Supercontinent that existed millions of years ago
Down
  1. 1. 2nd theory describing the history of Earth's surface, saying the lithosphere is divided into plates that are ontop of the asthenosphere moving, developed by Dan McKenzie
  2. 4. the 1st theory describing history of Earth's surface saying that all the continents were once joined together as a supercontinent and drifted apart, deeloped by Alfred Wegener
  3. 5. distance above the sea level
  4. 6. difference in the elevation on topography maps between two contour lines
  5. 8. line on a topographic map connecting to points with same elevation, showing shape of landforms
  6. 11. images or photos of certain areas on Earth taken from space
  7. 12. a map showing elevation and shapes of the surface using contour lines
  8. 15. fragments of weathered sediment that was eroded and placed into a new place by wind, water, ice, or gravity
