Across
  1. 4. One high and low tide each day.
  2. 5. The planet we live on.
  3. 8. The season made up of orange, brown, red, and green leaves.
  4. 9. Gigantic pieces of the Earth's crust and uppermost mantle.
  5. 15. Coldest season of the year.
  6. 16. Made up of the crust and the uppermost solid layer of the mantle.
  7. 18. A solar eclipse that is visible from a small area on Earth.
  8. 20. These were what made up the Pangea and contains countries.
  9. 23. What the continents made up 250 years ago.
  10. 24. Above South America.
  11. 25. Includes Columbia and under its northern counterpart.
  12. 28. The thinnest layer of the earth.
  13. 29. Two high and low tides each day.

Down
  1. 1. Two high and low tides each day of different heights.
  2. 2. A hot liquid which moves through the earth's mantle.
  3. 3. The smallest of the seven continents.
  4. 6. The transfer of thermal energy by particles moving through a fluid or gas.
  5. 7. When two plates move away from each other.
  6. 10. When two plates slide past each other.
  7. 11. when an oceanic plate runs into a continental plate and slides beneath it.
  8. 12. This happens when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are not precisely aligned during an eclipse.
  9. 13. The biggest part of the Pangea.
  10. 14. the border between two plates.
  11. 17. The coldest continent.
  12. 19. An eclipse that happens when the Moon is farthest from Earth.
  13. 21. Hottest season of the year
  14. 22. This is the best season for planting, gardening, and collecting vegetables.
  15. 26. The second largest part of the Pangea.
  16. 27. The thickest layer of the earth.
  17. 30. Narrow depressions caused by convergent boundaries form at the boundary of tectonic plates where one plate is subducted beneath another plate.
