Across
- 3. reversed many times in Earth's history
- 4. form on divergent/convergent boundaries
- 7. increases as we dig deeper and deeper
- 11. recycling of oceanic crust
- 13. random mantle plume where volcanoes form
- 14. "puzzle piece" part of continental drift theory
- 17. boundary where seafloor spreading happens
- 20. waxy area on which lithosphere rests
- 22. produce scratches in rock from cold time period
- 23. proposed continental drift
Down
- 1. crust + top of mantle
- 2. theory that crust is divided into sections
