Plate Tectonics
Across
- 2. This is a fancy word for "sinking" or the downgoing motion of a plate
- 4. This is a feature that is created in ocean/ocean convergence
- 6. This is a feature that is created in continent/continent convergence
- 7. This is the process in which the seafloor spreads allowing crust to move farther from the ridge over geologic time.
- 9. This boundary involves crust that divides
- 11. This is common at all types of plate boundaries
- 12. This type of crust is thicker than oceanic
- 13. The plates in which the lithosphere is divided (puzzle pieces)
- 14. How much the continents move each year
- 16. This is a narrow ditch at the bottom of the ocean, located above a subduction zone
- 18. This boundary involves crust that slides
- 19. This zone allows for one plate (denser plate) to sink or subduct below another one
- 20. The San Andreas Fault is located in this state
- 21. This is a zone of seismic and tectonic activity along the edges of lithospheric plates
Down
- 1. This is a feature created in continent/oceanic convergence
- 3. This boundary involves crust that collides
- 5. This type of crust is denser than continental
- 8. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is located in this ocean
- 10. The name of the supercontinent that existed 300 million years ago
- 15. This forms at a divergent boundary where the plates spread
- 17. This mountain range is a result of the collision of India with Southern Asia
