Plate Tectonics
Across
- 2. the deformation of rocks
- 4. what is formed when cracks in the earth are made and magma is able to rise through
- 8. where convention currents occur
- 10. what is it called when the blocks move horizontally
- 11. the plate boundary where the plates move toward each other
- 14. the line formed by the intersection of a horizontal plane and an inclined surface
- 16. the plate boundary where the plates move away from each other
- 17. a stress which stresses rock in two different directions
- 18. the plate boundary where the plates move up and down against each other
- 20. the border between two tectonic plates
Down
- 1. currents the movement of tectonic plates, made by heat and pressure
- 3. the process of tectonic plates running into each other and one sliding beneath the other
- 5. faults the fault that occurs when the hanging wall moves down
- 6. faults the fault that occurs when the hanging wall moves up
- 7. a stress which pushes rock together
- 9. Plate the largest major plate tectonic
- 12. valley a land form that is created from divergent plate boundary
- 13. a stress that occurs when forces are parallel but are moving in opposite directions
- 15. the result of plate tectonics slipping and creating movement at fault lines
- 19. what plate tectonics are made of
