Earth Science
Across
- 2. hot, dense ball of (mostly) iron, liquid
- 7. vibrations in the earth that transmit energy and occur during seismic activity such as earthquakes
- 9. Part of the earth between Crust and the outer core
- 11. the outermost layer of Earth's lithosphere that makes up the planet's continents
- 12. a neutrino or antineutrino emitted during the decay of naturally-occurring radionuclides in the Earth
- 13. When two plates come together
Down
- 1. the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
- 3. a hot, dense ball of (mostly) iron,solid part of the earth
- 4. The original unstable isotope
- 5. the denser crustal layer of Earth that makes up portions of tectonic plates in deep oceans
- 6. occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other
- 8. the upper layer of the earth's mantle, below the lithosphere, in which there is relatively low resistance to plastic flow and convection is thought to occur.
- 10. The more stable form of the material
