Across
- 1. Pull – Force caused by a sinking plate pulling the rest of it down.
- 6. Boundary – Plate boundary where plates slide past each other.
- 7. – The vast ocean that surrounded Pangaea.
- 9. Push – Force caused by rising magma at mid-ocean ridges pushing plates apart.
- 10. – Rigid outer layer of Earth made of the crust and upper mantle.
- 11. Core – The liquid layer of Earth’s core that causes the magnetic field.
- 12. Waves – Seismic waves that travel through Earth’s interior.
- 14. Force – General term for what causes plate motion.
- 16. Waves (S-waves) – Slower seismic waves that only travel through solids.
- 17. Boundary – Plate boundary where plates move apart.
- 19. Boundary – Plate boundary where plates collide.
Down
- 2. – The soft, plastic-like layer of the mantle beneath the lithosphere.
- 3. – Ancient supercontinent that existed millions of years ago.
- 4. – Thick layer of rock between the crust and the core.
- 5. – The Earth's outermost solid layer.
- 7. Waves (P-waves) – Fastest seismic waves that move through solids and liquids.
- 8. (Moho) – Boundary between the crust and mantle.
- 13. Suction – Force created as a subducting plate drags mantle material.
- 15. Convection – Heat-driven circulation in the mantle that moves plates.
- 18. Core – The solid innermost part of the Earth’s core.
