Pate Tectonics
Across
- 2. A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other
- 5. The process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle at a convergent plate boundary
- 7. A plate boundary where two plates move past each other in opposite directions.
- 10. The hypothesis that the continents slowly move across Earth's surface
- 12. The point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus
Down
- 1. A plate boundary where two plates move towards each other.
- 3. The movement of a fluid, caused by differences in temperature, that transfers heat from one part of the fluid to another
- 4. Stress that stretches rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle
- 6. Stress that pushes masses of rock in opposite directions, in a sidewasy motion
- 8. The shaking that results from the movement of rock beneath Earth's surface.
- 9. Stress that squeezed rock until it folds or breaks
- 11. The point beneath Earth's surface where rock first breaks nder stress and causes an earthquacke
- 13. tectonics The theory that pieces of Earth's lithosphere are in constant motion, driven by convection currents in the mantle
