Plate Tectonics
Across
- 6. the denser plate sinks under the buoyant one
- 10. as a slab sinks, it pulls the plate with a force called :
- 12. the circulation of material due to density
- 13. two plates collide
- 14. Rising mantle at mid-ocean creating potential for plates to move away
- 15. Reverses to point south
Down
- 1. two plates sliding past each other
- 2. Mountains ranges in the ocean
- 3. Earth's surface is thought to be made of these
- 4. New crust forms Old crust moves
- 5. two plates separating
- 7. magnetic field reverses direction
- 8. continents in constant motion
- 9. needle pointing north
- 11. The rigid, cold, outermost layer of rock
- 16. the supercontinent
