Changing Earth's Surface
Across
- 2. Spot/ locations wheree volcanoes form far from plate boundaries
- 6. Weathering/ the process of changing the compostion of rocks and minerals by exposure to water and the atmosphere
- 9. the squeezing force at a convergent boundary
- 11. Boundary/ where two plates move from toward each other
- 12. process of laying down eroded mineral in new location.
- 13. Boundary/ where two plates move apart from each other
- 14. the surface along which the crust moves
- 17. is the repture and sudden movement of rocks along a break or a crack in Earth's crust
- 20. Weathering/ the process of breaking rocks into small pices without changing the compostion of the rocks
- 21. the pulling force at a divergent boundary
Down
- 1. Ridges/ the mountains that forms as this lava builds up and cools
- 3. Boundary/ where plates slide horizontally past each other
- 4. Zone/ the area where one plate slides under another
- 5. Flows/ long streams of molten rocks
- 7. creates a large depression in the center of the volcanic
- 8. Drift/ the hypothesis that continents move
- 10. refers to the processes that breaks down rockss, changing Earth's surface over time
- 15. the minerals and small pices of rocks
- 16. the side-by-side dragging force at transform boundaries
- 18. Ash/ small pieces of lava
- 19. is the moving of waethered material, or sediment, from one location to another
- 20. Tectonics/ states that Earth's crust is broken into rigid plates that move slowly over Earth's surface
