Down
  1. 1. two opposites states of being on either end (N & S)
  2. 3. A cold water current with low salinity levels that flows north along the western coast of South America; also called the Peru current
  3. 4. large sections of Earth's crust that are in constant movement over fluid mantle
  4. 5. deposition of suspended particles from water
  5. 7. A warm current that develops off the coast of Ecuador around December, which can cause widespread death within local food chains
  6. 8. Cold Water Moves To The Surface
  7. 10. Also Called A Storm Surge
  8. 12. An area where cold ocean water that has seeped into Erth's crust is superheated by underlying magma and forced through vents in the ocean floor

  14. 25. A natural process where material is worn away from the Earth's surface and transported elsewhere
  15. 27. Break Down Of Rocks
  16. 31. A cold current that develops off the coast of Ecuador and spreads across the Pacific, reducing sea surface temperatures for extended periods of time
