Formation of Magma
Across
- 4. / Rising column of hot mantle material
- 5. / Describes plate movements that influence magma formation
- 8. / Melting caused by reduced pressure at divergent boundaries
- 11. / Substances like water that help melt mantle rock
- 12. / Zone where plates diverge and magma forms
Down
- 1. / Layer where most magma originates
- 2. / Plate sinking into mantle, triggering magma formation
- 3. / Earth’s outer layer above the mantle
- 4. / Force that affects melting point of mantle rocks
- 6. / Molten rock formed beneath Earth’s surface
- 7. / Process of solid rock turning into liquid magma
- 9. / Underground space where magma accumulates
- 10. / Energy source that initiates rock melting
- 13. / Melting caused by water and volatiles lowering melting point
