  2. 4. a result in which the material above the fault plane moves up in relation to the material below
  3. 6. a surface feature in the sea floor produced by a descending plate during subduction
  4. 7. process in which plate tectonics form a new oceanic lithosphere
  5. 8. weathered earth materials
  6. 11. two plates grind past each other without harming the lithosphere
  7. 14. a fault along which the movement is horizontal and and parallel to the trend of the fault
  8. 16. molten material that forms deep beneath earth's surface
  9. 18. and thereby produce earthquakes, volcanoes, mountains, and the crust itself
  10. 20. interactions among earth's water, air, and land that can cause rocks to change from one type to another
  11. 21. destructive plate margins where the oceanic crust is being pushed down into the mantle
Down
  1. 2. two plates move together
  2. 3. the uppermost mantle, along with the overlying crust, that behaves as a strong layer
