Plate tectonic and layers
Across
- 2. Scientific theory that explains how major landforms are created as a result of Earth's movement.
- 6. The most outer layer of Earth's atmosphere where satellites are
- 8. The boundary that was caused when the two plates move to pat each other in up and down motion.
- 9. The layer of Earth's atmosphere that absorbs x-rays and UV radiation from the sun
- 11. The solid nickel-iron center of Earth
- 13. Made with parts of the crust and the upper mantle
- 15. The layer of the atmosphere where large passenger aircraft fly in
- 16. The boundary that was caused by two plates being pulled apart creating rift valley
- 17. Liquid molten rock layer where tectonic plates sit on top.
Down
- 1. The layer made of liquid molten rocks
- 3. The boundary caused by the subduction of two plates
- 4. The Earth's layer made up of 78% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen
- 5. The layer beneath the crust made of more rigid half-molten rocks
- 7. The lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, where weather occurs
- 10. The coldest layer of the atmosphere and helps to burn up most the meteors
- 12. The Earth's layer beneath the surface and made of rocks
