Plate Tectonics
Across
- 9. famous transform boundary in California
- 10. True or False,Alfred Wegener used evidence from land features, fossils, and climate to support his theory of continental drift
- 11. what forms at a subduction zone
- 12. two converging continental plates form this geological feature
- 13. currents in what cause tectonic plates to move
- 16. Most geologists of Wegener’s time accepted his idea of drifting continents
- 17. tectonic plates that move towards each other
- 18. tectonic plates that are moving away from each other
- 19. 2 tectonic plates sliding by each other
Down
- 1. who came up with the theory that the continents moved
- 2. before the continents, moved what was the super continent called
- 3. this feature is found on continents at a divergent boundary
- 4. process that causes tectonic plates to move
- 5. which type of crust is more dense
- 6. when one tectonic plate goes underneath another plate
- 7. divergent plates underneath the ocean cause this
- 8. fossils of what plant provided evidence for Wegener’s hypothesis for continental drift
- 14. these geological features form when one tectonic plate subducts under another plate
- 15. who came up with the theory of plate tectonics
- 17. which type of crust is older
