Plate tectonic review- due tomorrow!
Across
- 4. this scientist first proposed the theory of continental drift.
- 5. during convection, less dense material is ___________ and begins to rise.
- 6. plates slide past each other at this type of boundary.
- 9. these can form when two continental plates converge (or collide).
- 11. this feature can be found at a divergent plate boundary.
- 12. when plates push together.
- 14. where are conduction currents found?
- 15. during convection, material _____________, becoming denser, then begins to fall due to gravity.
Down
- 1. when plates are pulled apart.
- 2. rising material hits the lithosphere and slides, moving __________ with it.
- 3. this scientist proposed the radical idea of sea-floor spreading.
- 7. this can occur when a continental and oceanic plate converge (or collide).
- 8. the name of the supercontinent before continental drift occurred.
- 10. rocks closer to the mid ocean ridges are ____________ than those further away.
