Across
  1. 3. Boundary where plates collide leading to subduction or mountain building
  2. 5. The thin dense outer layer of Earth found beneath the ocean basins
  3. 7. Boundary where plates slide past each other along fault lines causing earthquakes
  4. 10. Massive slabs of lithosphere that move and interact to shape Earth's surface
  5. 11. A region where oceanic crust sinks down into the mantle beneath another plate
  6. 12. The point on Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake originates
  7. 14. Boundary where plates rift and spread apart creating mid ocean ridges
  8. 15. Evidence from earthquakes used to predict and map plate margins and fault lines
Down
  1. 1. The driving force behind plate motion where heat rises and falls within the earth
  2. 2. A major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where many earthquakes and volcanoes occur
  3. 4. A fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock that slide past each other
  4. 6. A deep valley that forms where continental crust diverges and pulls apart
  5. 8. The thick less dense outer layer of Earth that forms the large landmasses
  6. 9. An underwater mountain system formed by plate rifting and spreading
  7. 13. Geological anomalies or hotspot volcanoes like Hawaii that are not driven by boundaries
