Across
  1. 1. Liquid magma that reaches the surface; also the rock formed when liquid lava hardens.
  2. 2. A naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals or organic matter
  3. 4. layers Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core
  4. 6. field A field that surrounds the Earth because of earth's convection currents in earth's liquid iron core.
  5. 8. the layer of the earth between the crust and the core. The Largest Layer of the earth. Makes up 2/3 of Earth’s Mass. Convection currents can be found here.
  6. 9. The Outer layer of the Earth. Earth’s thinnest layer. Composed aluminum, silicon, oxygen
  7. 11. Waves Waves (earthquakes) that help us study the inner layers of Earth.
  8. 14. core a layer of molten iron and nickel that surrounds the inner core of Earth. Earth’s only completely liquid layer.
  9. 15. core solid, dense center of the Earth. Made of iron.
Down
  1. 1. the solid, outer layer of the earth that consists of the crust and the rigid upper part of the upper mantle.
  2. 3. Crust Thicker, less dense crust
  3. 5. Crust thin, more dense than continental crust, subducting crust
  4. 7. The solid, plastic layer of the mantle beneath the lithosphere; made of mantle rock that flows very slowly, which allows tectonic plates to move on top of it
  5. 10. plate (Plate Tectonics) Sections of the Earth's crust that move due to convection currents.
  6. 12. molten rock in the earth's Mantle
  7. 13. Current the movement of a fluid, caused by differences in temperature, heated fluid rises, and cooler fluid sinks
