Plate Tectonics
Across
- 2. The type of plate boundary formed when plates slide past each other
- 4. Molten rock found on Earth's surface
- 6. This zone is created when two of the same types of plates hit each other
- 9. The fold mountain range found in North America
- 13. One of the plates found SW of the Caribbean Plate
- 17. The type of currents found in the mantle
- 18. This feature, found at a divergent boundary, runs almost the full length of the Atlantic Ocean
- 19. These features can be formed at both convergent and divergent plate boundaries
- 21. The innermost layer of Earth
- 22. The type of plate boundary formed when plates pull apart
- 24. Molten rock found underground
Down
- 1. This describes a line of volcanic islands created at a convergent boundary
- 3. This Ring of Fire has many active volcanoes and earthquakes
- 5. The fold mountain range found in South America
- 7. The thinnest layer of Earth
- 8. The largest fold mountain range on the planet
- 10. The kind of zone created when an oceanic plate goes under a continental plate
- 11. This massive fault line is found at the transform boundary in California
- 12. This is created when the sea floor plunges down to really deep depths
- 14. The type of plate boundary formed when plates collide
- 15. The largest of the Earth's concentric layers
- 16. The name of the supercontinent that drift apart over millions of years
- 20. A really big crack
- 23. This is found in East Africa, created by plates pulling apart
- 25. The fold mountain range found in Europe
