Across
  1. 2. of solid iron
  2. 4. currents Process that occurs in the mantle. This is the engine that causes hotter magma to rise and sink when it cools.
  3. 9. core Layer of the Earth above the Inner Core. Made of liquid metal
  4. 10. Crust Part of the crust that made up of rocks that form continents. This is where you live.
  5. 11. Layer of the Earth above the Outer Core. Location where Convection currents Occur
  6. 13. Boundary that causes plates to collide
  7. 14. Boundary that causes plates to slide
  8. 15. Layer of the Earth above the Mantle. Made of oceans and continents. Layer with the least pressure, temperature and density.
  9. 16. Supercontinent
  10. 17. Pieces of the crust
Down
  1. 1. Crust Part of the crust made out of rocks that forms the ocean floors.
  2. 3. Boundary that causes plates to spread apart
  3. 5. Drift Theory that the landmasses move apart.
  4. 6. core Layer of the Earth that has the greatest temperature, pressure and density.
  5. 7. Spreading Geologic event that occurs when magma rises causing seafloor to spread. This is a divergent boundary.
  6. 8. Deformation
  7. 12. Landmasses
  8. 17. Tectonics Theory that pieces of the crust are deformed from the convection currents in the mantle.
