Across
  1. 3. Boundaries: The edges where two tectonic plates meet, which can be divergent, convergent, or transform.
  2. 5. The rigid outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
  3. 7. Zone: An area where one tectonic plate is forced under another, often leading to volcanic activity.
  4. 8. The semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere that allows tectonic plates to move.
  5. 10. Drift: The theory that continents move over geological time, affecting plate boundaries.
Down
  1. 1. Boundary: A type of boundary where two plates move apart, often resulting in sea-floor spreading.
  2. 2. Spreading: The process by which new oceanic crust is formed at divergent boundaries.
  3. 4. Boundary: A boundary where two plates slide past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes.
  4. 6. Boundary: A boundary where two plates collide, leading to subduction or mountain formation.
  5. 9. Plates: Large sections of the Earth's crust that move and interact at their boundaries.
