Earth's Interior & Plate Tectonics
Across
- 2. trench found at approximately 20 degrees north and 150 degrees east
- 7. this type of crust is less dense but thicker
- 8. the process where one plate sinks under another
- 9. type of boundary where two plates collide
- 10. made up of the crust and rigid mantle together
- 13. solid layer of earth made up of iron and nickel
- 14. layer in the earth where convection occurs
- 17. tectonic plate made up of only oceanic crust
Down
- 1. layer found at a depth of 2000km
- 3. layer of the earth that is liquid
- 4. process that moves the tectonic plates
- 5. boundary that separated the crust and rigid mantle
- 6. type of boundary where two plate separate
- 11. this type of crust is more dense and thin
- 12. location on a tectonic plate where mantle rock is continually rising from deep within earth
- 15. type of boundary where two plates slide past each other
- 16. the Arabian plate shares a convergent boundary with this tectonic plate
