Earth Science
Across
- 4. The deeper the layer of rock, the older it is.
- 8. Third layer of the earth, liquid iron and nickel
- 11. Plates move together
- 13. crust made of mostly basalt, very thin but more dense
- 15. second layer of the earth
- 16. Landform made about and around subduction zones
- 17. Four layer of the earth, solid iron and nickel
- 18. Scientist who came up with the theory of continental drift
- 19. Event caused when tectonic plates suddenly slip
Down
- 1. First layer of the earth, Oceanic or Continental
- 2. Areas where tectonic plates collide
- 3. Heat transfer that causes movement of tectonic plates
- 5. Breaking down of rock overtime.
- 6. Large pieces of earths crust and mantle that "float" on the asthenosphere
- 7. crust made of mostly granite, thicker but less dense
- 9. Convergent boundary where one plate is sucked beneath another.
- 10. Divergent boundary where plates separate allowing new ocean floor to be made.
- 12. Plates slide past each other
- 14. Plates move apart
