Geology
Across
- 5. The theory that the crust is divided into large pieces that slowly move on top of the mantle
- 7. The thin, solid, outermost layer of Earth
- 8. The theory that continents were once connected but have drifted apart
- 9. The solid layer of Earth between the crust and the core; made of dense silicates
- 10. Deep and narrow depression in the seafloor where the subducted plate moves into the asthenosphere
Down
- 1. The mineralized remains of organisms, showing how long-dead organisms lived and how their bodies were structured
- 2. when something is weathered
- 3. Melted, or molten, rock material beneath Earth’s surface
- 4. Huge pieces of crust that slowly moves on the upper, ductile part of the mantle
- 6. The process in which a denser plate is pushed downward beneath a less dense plate when plates converge
