Across
  1. 3. Process in which sediment is laid down in new locations.
  2. 4. A volcano that has not erupted for thousands of years and probably will not erupt again.
  3. 5. The sudden release of strain energy in the Earth's crust, resulting in waves of shaking that radiate outwards from the earthquake source.
  4. 7. The process by which water, ice, wind, or gravity moves weathered rock and soil.
  5. 9. The breaking down of rocks and other materials on the Earth's surface.
  6. 15. The process that breaks down rock through chemical changes.
  7. 16. extremely deep areas in the ocean that are created by a subducting plate
  8. 19. process in which two plates collide and the denser ocean plate descends below the other
  9. 21. A major geological fault in California formed by a sliding transform boundary.
  10. 22. The theory that the earth is broken into plates and are in motion due to convection currents in the asthenosphere (upper mantle)
  11. 24. The boundary between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other
  12. 25. an underwater mountain range made at divergent plate boundaries
  13. 26. term for the super continent which contained all the plates together
  14. 27. The chemical and physical processes that break down rock and other materials on Earth's surface.
  15. 30. The layer of hot, solid material between Earth's crust and core. The thickest layer.
  16. 31. Process that splits rock when water seeps into cracks, then freezes and expands.
  17. 32. The boundary formed by the collision of two plates
Down
  1. 1. The hypothesis that states that the continents once formed a single landmass, broke up, and drifted to their present locations
  2. 2. a current caused by the rising of heated fluid that is less dense and sinking of cooled fluid that is more dense that drives plate movement in the mantle of the earth
  3. 6. The boundary between tectonic plates that are sliding past each other horizontally
  4. 8. The process by which new oceanic crust forms as magma rises towards the surface and solidifies at divergent boundaries.
  5. 10. The process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another
  6. 11. The thin and solid outermost layer of the Earth above the mantle
  7. 12. thinner, more dense, younger crust making ocean floor
  8. 13. Process in which sediment is laid down in new locations.
  9. 14. The type of weathering in which rock is physically broken into smaller pieces.
  10. 17. The hot liquid metal layer of the Earth where convection currents create Earth's magnetic field
  11. 18. Proposed the continental drift theory in the 1900s
  12. 20. The portion of the earth's crust that primarily contains granite and is less dense than oceanic crust.
  13. 23. Earth materials created by weathering and deposited by erosion.
  14. 28. A giant wave usually caused by an earthquake beneath the ocean floor.
  15. 29. inactive, sleeping volcano
