Earth's Interior Review
Across
- 2. lava flow with a smooth, ropy surface
- 6. plate boundaries collide
- 10. undersea mountain chains
- 11. series of waves caused by earthquakes or volanoes
- 12. or stratovolcanoes, large volcanoes with material in layers
- 15. theory proposed by Alfred Wegener, continents are moving
- 17. lava slow with a rough, rubbly surface
- 19. solid part of mantle, below asthenosphere
- 21. rising and falling of heat through the mantle
- 22. plate boundaries slide past each other; where most earthquakes occur
- 23. dense, fast-moving flow of solidified lava, ash, and gas
- 25. force that acts on a rock to change its shape or volume
- 26. a hot spring that erupts a column of water
Down
- 1. point on Earth's surface directly above the focus
- 3. center of Earth
- 4. plate boundaries divide
- 5. weak spot in Earth's surface where magma comes to the surface
- 7. place where an earthquake begins under Earth's surface
- 8. volcano that forms when flows of lava form gently sloping, wide sides
- 9. theory proposed by Harry Hess, the sea floor is spreading
- 12. topmost layer of Earth, "skin"
- 13. edge of the Pacific plate where many earthquakes and volcanoes occur
- 14. low, steep volcano made of cinders
- 16. rigid, means "stone", uppermost layer of the mantle
- 17. weak or soft, below lithosphere
- 18. when the ocean floor sinks below a continental plate
- 20. break in the Earth's crust
- 24. when a volcano collapses on itself
