Chapter 1 Review
Across
- 1. Evidence of sea-floor spreading that wouldn't be comfy to sleep on.
- 6. Stress that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks.
- 8. This occurs at a divergent boundary on land.
- 9. Rigid layer of the Earth that is broken into plates.
- 10. The super-continent that Wegener discovered.
- 11. This type of boundary happens when two plates come together.
- 12. Any trace of an ancient organism, also evidence used in Wegener's theory.
- 15. Stress that pulls a rock apart, causing stress in the center.
- 17. This occurs at a divergent boundary in water.
- 18. This is heat transfer by direct contact or touch.
- 21. A force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume.
- 22. Stress that pushes a rock in two opposite directions.
- 23. The largest layer of the Earth, has convection currents within it.
- 24. core Completely liquid layer of the Earth, responsible for magnetic field.
Down
- 2. When crust is pulled back down into the mantle at a deep ocean trench.
- 3. This type of boundary happens when two plates pull apart.
- 4. The layer of the upper mantle that flows like rubber.
- 5. This boundary happens when two plates slide past one another.
- 7. currents When melted rock is heated, it rises, cools off, and falls back down in a cycle.
- 8. This is heat transfer through empty space.
- 13. The device used to map the ocean floor.
- 14. The shaking and trembling that results from moving rocks.
- 16. Any change in the volume or shape of Earth's crust.
- 19. The measure of how much mass there is in an object.
- 20. The last name of the scientist that discovered Continental drift.
