Plate Tectonics
Across
- 1. these were found in what is now African deserts to support the shifting of the plates
- 3. layer of the earth that causes the plates to move slowly
- 5. this boundary slides past each other at a fault to form earthquakes
- 7. the theory that is based on the continents being connected and then splitting
- 9. evidence of the plates being together based on their shape fitting together like this
- 10. the landform in the ocean where new rock forms that lead to seafloor spreading
- 11. the type of boundary that forms a trench & volcano by sinking below another plate after colliding
Down
- 2. the crust that is less dense & does not sink to be recycled at a convergent subduction boundary
- 4. these were found of the same plants & animals on different continents showing the continents moved
- 6. forms when two continental plates separate at a divergent boundary
- 7. the type of boundary when two continental plates collide to form folded mountains
- 8. the type of boundary responsible for seafloor spreading
