Plate Tectonics
Across
- 6. Boundary type of plates simply passing by eachother
- 8. The Earth's crust is made up of these
- 9. Below the first layer of earth under the plates
- 10. A thin boundary type, usually created when crust subducts thinner crust underneath it
- 11. a horseshoe shaped region around the pacific ocean which experiences some of the most seismic and volcanic activity in the world
- 12. a boundary type where plates move in the opposite directions at different speeds
- 13. last name of the german scientist well known for the theory of plate tectonics
- 14. molten rock beneath the earth's crust
Down
- 1. A boundary type that occurs when two plates move away from eachother
- 2. The result of two plates grinding against eachother creating seismic activity
- 3. A lithosphere type with water above it
- 4. The result of two plates grinding against eachother or moving away, causes earthquakes and erupts lava
- 5. a process of creating mountains
- 7. Rigid outermost rocky layer
- 10. A solid lithosphere type
