Across
  1. 2. a relatively flat-topped area
  2. 4. thickened areas of continental material that counterbalance the parts of a mountain that rise above Earth's surface; detected by gravitational and seismic studies
  3. 6. cycle of processes that form all mountain ranges, resulting in broad, linear regions of deformation that you know as mountain ranges but in geology are known as orogenic belts
  4. 7. squeezing force that can cause the intense deformation--folding, faulting metamorphism, and igneous intrusions--associated with mountain building
  5. 8. condition of equilibrium that describes the displacement of Earth's mantle by Earth's continental and oceanic crust
  6. 9. slow process of Earth's crust rising as the result of the removal of overlaying material
Down
  1. 1. mountain that forms when large pieces of crust are tilted, uplifted, or dropped downward between large normal faults
  2. 3. the change in elevation of the crust
  3. 5. mountain that forms when large regions of Earth are forced slowly upward without much deformation
