Geology
Across
- 4. The outer layer of the Earth, about 2-25 miles thick; crust is thicker under the continents and thinner under the oceans
- 5. Thick, gel like, sticky, not fluid
- 7. Theory of the Earth’s crust being broken into a series of plates in motion
- 8. Layer of molten rock between the crust and the Earth’s core, about 1,800 miles thick
Down
- 1. Boundary where plates are colliding into each other
- 2. Liquefied by heat, usually referring to lava or magma
- 3. The study of the earth
- 4. The center of the Earth, about 2,200 miles thick; made up of an inner and outer core
- 6. Boundary where plates are moving apart from each other
- 8. Molten rock containing dissolved gases beneath the Earth’s surface
