Oceanography
Across
- 3. WILSON another guy I FORGOT about
- 4. occurs when an oceanic plate runs into a continental plates slide beneath it
- 5. tech-tonic plates move apart allowing new ocean crust to reach the surface
- 6. two plates moving towards each other
- 8. plates slide away from each other
- 11. outside layer of earth
- 12. the movement of continents
- 15. tectonic plates split apart from each other
- 16. Moves faster than S-wave
- 17. the solid outer part of earth
- 20. heat driven cycles
- 23. the very hot very dense center of our planet
- 24. very hard granular rock
- 25. a violent and abrupt shaking of the ground
- 27. Wegener Only human person in the whole cross word
- 28. force of uplift or down bending exceeds mechanical strength
- 29. the ability to float in water
- 31. the process of heat or electricity is directly transmitted
- 32. tectonics a theory explaining the structure of earths crust
- 33. the method used to determine the age of a structure base
- 34. mostly solid bulk of Earths interior
- 35. type of sonar used for navigation
- 36. the emission of energy in the form of ionizing radiation
- 37. how compact a substance it
- 38. the state of gravitational equilibrium
- 39. relating to earthquakes for other vibrations of the earth crust
Down
- 1. crust thick part of earth crust
- 2. a surface of erosion
- 7. measuring the physical properties
- 9. a path around pacific ocean that have active volcanoes
- 10. calculate an age in years for geologic materials
- 13. a type of fault in which two tectonic plates Slide past one another
- 14. instruments used to record the motion of the ground
- 17. the lower liquid portion of the mantle
- 18. gigantic continent/one land
- 19. Quantitative measure of an earthquakes magnitude
- 21. lateral waves that move side to side
- 22. the vast super ocean
- 26. form where the plate with thinner oceanic crust descends
- 30. the upper layer of Earth's mantle
