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