Across
  1. 2. where plates meet
  2. 4. drift A super continent separated and the continents move to current positions.
  3. 8. zones where the seafloor is forced under continental plates.
  4. 10. The outer part of the Earth's crust. It is composed of granite.
  5. 11. core The inner most solid portion of the planet Earth.
  6. 13. large molten region of the Earth below the crust.
  7. 14. The deepest parts of the oceans.
  8. 15. oceanic ridge Places where new seafloor is being created.
  9. 16. one of the two magnetic metals in the core
Down
  1. 1. This super continent continent fitted like a jigsaw puzzle.
  2. 3. The zone below the lithosphere. It is more 'plastic' than the lithosphere so it is casicr to bend and move.
  3. 5. Paleontologists noticed that these were the same on different continents even though the continents were separated by oceans.
  4. 6. the bands of solidified crust moving away from the ridge
  5. 7. The Earth's magnetic field reverses from time to time.
  6. 9. currents forcing the seafloor to spread and continents to drift.
  7. 12. Hess Scientist first proposed the idea of Tectonic movement
