Plate Tectonics
Across
- 2. What are Pangea and Godwana?
- 3. Mostly liquid that makes up the space underneath the upper layer of the earth
- 5. It is geologically young compared with the continental crust
- 6. An eruption caused by carbon breaking through the crust
- 7. The solid layer of Iron and Nickel
- 10. Two tectonic plates that move away from each other
- 12. The relatively thick part of the earth's crust which forms the large land masses.
- 13. The place where two plates meet
- 15. The plate Australia rests on
- 19. The very center of the earth
- 20. The horse shoe shaped ring that contains most of the earth volcanoes and earthquakes
- 21. The number of major plates
Down
- 1. The crusts segments that float on the mantle
- 4. When two plate slide past each other
- 8. When two plates come together and push together
- 9. Liquid Iron and Nickel
- 11. A giant wave that can be caused by an underwater volcano or earthquake
- 12. The solid outer layer of the earth
- 14. The super continent that incorporated most of the world modern continents
- 16. One plate is pushed beneath the other
- 17. The force on the plate overcomes the friction, that releases energy in waves through the crust
- 18. The movie based on the theory continental drift
