Plate Tectonics
Across
- 4. Hot fluid rock within the earth's crust.
- 6. Vent on the surface of the earth that releases magma.
- 8. The type of wave that forms from earthquakes.
- 11. Middle of a tectonic plate.
- 13. When one plate goes under another.
- 14. Type of boundary where plates come together.
- 15. Study of seismic waves.
- 16. Unexpected ground movement, caused by the release of energy in rocks
Down
- 1. The slower wave, can only travel through solids.
- 2. The faster wave, can travel through all matter.
- 3. A disturbance in a medium that carries energy.
- 5. Massive slabs of rock in the lithosphere that move with tectonics.
- 7. A narrow crack in the earth.
- 9. Long, narrow ditches formed in the ocean floor.
- 10. Type of boundary where plates move apart.
- 12. Type of boundary where plates slide past each other.
