Across
  1. 3. Where the ocean floor plunges into deep underwater canyons over tens of millions of years
  2. 5. Long chains of mountain that rise up from the ocean floor
  3. 6. States that Earth's plates are in slow, constant motion, driven by convection currents in the mantle
  4. 8. Process where new molten material from inside Earth rises, erupts, cools, and hardens to form a solid strip of rock along mid-ocean ridges
  5. 9. Where plates slip past each other
  6. 10. Breaks in earth's crust where rocks have slipped past each other
Down
  1. 1. Where plates move apart, or diverge, from each other
  2. 2. Where plates come together, or converge
  3. 4. The process by which the ocean floor sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle again
  4. 7. Where pieces of Earth's crust diverge on land
