Across
- 4. is a mountain that forms in Earth's crust when,molten material or magma reaches the surface.
- 6. form long chains of mountains that rise up from the ocean floor.
- 9. plates slip past each other.
- 14. Heat transfer by the movement of fluid.
- 15. breaks in Earth's crust where rocks have slipped past eachother-form along these boundaries.
Down
- 1. adds more crust to the ocean floor.
- 2. plates move apart, or diverge.
- 3. an area where material deep within Earth's mantle rises through the crust and melts to form magma
- 5. when magma reaches the surface.
- 7. crust closer to the a mid-ocean ridge moves away from the ridge and toward a deep ocean trench.
- 8. A large landmass or super continent
- 10. one major belt of volcanoes
- 11. pieces of Earth's crust diverge on land, a deep valley forms.
- 12. any trace of an ancient organism that has been preserved in rock.
