Across
  1. 2. evidence that fossils are real
  2. 4. the boundary between magnetic plates that are moving away from each other
  3. 7. is a proposed driving force for plate motion in plate tectonics that occurs at mid-ocean ridges as the result of the rigid lithosphere sliding down the hot, raised asthenosphere below mid-ocean ridges
  4. 9. is the very slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle as convection currents carry heat from the interior to the planet's surface
  5. 11. the study of alignmentof magnetic minerals in rock
  6. 12. is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide
  7. 13. is the shaking of the surface of Earth resulting from a sudden release of energy in the lithosphere that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes can range in intensity
  8. 17. large-scale horizontal movements of continents relative to one another
  9. 18. zone of Earth’s mantle lying beneath the lithosphere and believed to be much hotter and more fluid than the lithosphere
  10. 19. is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object
  11. 20. a crust fragment formed on a tectonic plate
Down
  1. 1. a long undersea mountain range
  2. 3. is a geologic process in which tectonic plates—large slabs of Earth's lithosphere—split apart from each other
  3. 5. is a linear zone where the lithosphere is being pulled apart
  4. 6. a supercontinent
  5. 8. the solid outer layer of earth that consists of the crust
  6. 10. is the quasi-periodic aggregation and dispersal of Earth's continental crust
  7. 14. the boundary between tectonic plates that are sliding past each other horizontally
  8. 15. was the vast superocean that encompassed planet Earth and surrounded the supercontinent Pangaea
  9. 16. theory dealing with the dynamics of Earth’s outer shell
