Across
  1. 2. the layer that lies between earth's crust and core
  2. 4. boundary where tectonic plates slide past each other
  3. 6. large pieces of lithosphere that the ocean and continents rest on
  4. 8. form at convergent boundaries where one plate subducts under one another, and magma underground is pushed upward
  5. 11. boundary where tectonic plates divide
  6. 15. occurs when divergent plates separate
Down
  1. 1. boundary where tectonic plates collide
  2. 3. below the lithosphere
  3. 5. the lower part of the earth's mantle
  4. 7. when magma flows through a crack in the middle of a tectonic plate, and not a plate boundary. Hawaiian islands were formed this way.
  5. 9. the outer part of the earth
  6. 10. when a sudden release of energy in the lithosphere creates seismic waves
  7. 12. the solid outermost layer of the earth
  8. 13. the supercontinent that existed before continents separated
  9. 14. the innermost layer of the earth
