plate tectonics
Across
- 4. a device that records ground movement caused by seismic waves as they move through Earth
- 6. transfer of heat by movement of a fluid
- 8. the process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle at a convergent boundary
- 9. A break in Earth's crust where masses of rock slip past each other
- 10. the shaking that results from the movement of rock beneath Earth's surface
- 11. the part of the mantle just beneath the lithosphere; less rigid or plastic-like
Down
- 1. two tectonic plates move toward each other and collide
- 2. the eath's hard outter shell
- 3. two plates are moving away from each other
- 5. part of the Earth's interior between the metallic outer core and the crust
- 6. transfer of heat within a material or between materials that are touching
- 7. outer solid part of Earth including the crust & the upper mantle
