Across
- 2. Earth's thickest layer
- 4. Molten rock beneath the Earth's surface
- 8. A theory explaining the structure of the Earth's crust
- 13. Earth's outermost layer
- 15. Earth's solid center
- 16. The layer below Earth's mantle
- 17. A deep valley that is formed when an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate
- 19. An opening in the Earth's surface
- 20. The region where magma breaks through the surface
- 21. Made up of crust and uppermost mantle
Down
- 1. Sudden ground-shaking release of built up energy
- 3. When magma rises to the Earth's surface, pushing rock aside
- 5. Areas of subduction typically experience large earthquakes
- 6. Large breaks in rocks
- 7. Forms the lithosphere
- 9. Area where molten rock rises to the Earth's surface
- 10. Volcanoes that occur where magma erupts through long cracks in the lithosphere
- 11. The region where two tectonic plates are in contact
- 12. Point on Earth's surface directly above the focus where earthquakes form
- 14. Partly molten layer in the Earth's upper mantle
- 18. Steep sided valley formed on land
