Convection Currents-Plate Tectonics
Across
- 6. a loop of moving fluid in which the motion results from differences in density caused by differences in temperature
- 7. boundary between two tectonic plates, where the plates are moving horizontally or vertically in opposite directions, not against or away from each other
- 8. movement of a gas or liquid in a definite direction
- 9. the part of the earth's interior beneath the crust and above the central core
Down
- 1. process by which heat moves efficiently through air or water
- 2. the process of heat transfer by the bulk movement of molecules within fluids such as gasses and liquids
- 3. the movement of continents resulting from the motion of tectonic plates
- 4. long, narrow depressions on the seafloor that form at the boundary of tectonic plates where one plate is pushed, or subducts, beneath another.
- 5. a rigid layer of the Earth's crust that is believed to drift slowly
