Down
- 1. the layer around the inner core, made of liquid metal.
- 2. a large, thick plate of the Earth's crust that makes up the continents.
- 3. the edges where two tectonic plates meet.
- 5. a layer of the earth below the lithosphere that is soft and can flow slowly.
- 6. something that is melted and in liquid form, like lava.
- 12. the thin, outermost layer of rock below the crust and above the core.
- 13. the very center of the earth, made of solid metal.
- 15. a place where two tectonic plates are moving towards each other.
