Earths Systems
Across
- 2. the layer that lies between earth's crust and core
- 4. boundary where tectonic plates slide past each other
- 6. large pieces of lithosphere that the ocean and continents rest on
- 8. form at convergent boundaries where one plate subducts under one another, and magma underground is pushed upward
- 11. boundary where tectonic plates divide
- 15. occurs when divergent plates separate
Down
- 1. boundary where tectonic plates collide
- 3. below the lithosphere
- 5. the lower part of the earth's mantle
- 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.
- 9. the outer part of the earth
- 10. when a sudden release of energy in the lithosphere creates seismic waves
- 12. the solid outermost layer of the earth
- 13. the supercontinent that existed before continents separated
- 14. the innermost layer of the earth
