Mountains and Their Locations and Origins
Across
- 2. This mountain was formed by the African plate sinking underneath the Eurasian plate which therefore created a convergent boundary in the Bay of Naples, Italy and is located in Italy.
- 3. This mountain was formed in the late stage of the Arabian-Nubian Shield's (ANS) evolution and is located in Egypt.
- 5. This mountain was formed over millions of years ago by glacial erosion in Iceland. It formed between two glaciers that shaped the mountain into form. It is located in Iceland.
- 9. This mountain was formed sixty million years ago when tectonic uplift pushed Earth's crust upward and is located in Alaska.
- 10. This mountain was formed by tectonic uplifting and pressure as the Pacific and Indo-Australian Plates collided along New Zealand's western coast, and is located in New Zealand.
- 12. This mountain was formed of sedimentary rock laid down 200 million years ago in a shallow sea and is located in Greece.
- 14. Over time, the block of earth west of the Teton fault shot upward, forming the Tetons, and the block of earth east of the fault dropped more than 6,000 meters (20,000 feet) forming the valley. This mountain is located in Wyoming.
- 15. This mountain was formed by volcanic eruption that deposited lava flows and debris flows into a cone shape and is located in Washington.
Down
- 1. This mountain was formed by liquid granite magma that was originally forced up into the surrounding rocks deep beneath an active volcano about 350 million years ago, and is located in Scotland.
- 4. This mountain's current cone shape was caused by eruptions during the Komitake, Kofuji, and Shinfuji periods and is located in Japan.
- 6. This mountain was formed by the upward force generated when the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates collided, pushing up the rocks that formed the highest mountain on Earth and is located in Nepal.
- 7. This mountain consists predominantly of ancient granite rocks and was formed 770 million years ago when upheaval of the earth's crust lifted up schist, gneiss and limestone rocks. It is located in France and Italy.
- 8. This mountain was formed between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago during a period of intense volcanic activity and is located in the Caribbean.
- 11. This mountain started forming roughly 220 million years ago, when ancestral North America collided with a neighboring tectonic plate under the Pacific Ocean and is located in California.
- 13. This mountain was formed from solid granite and was forced up by the Hua Shan fault. It is located in China.
