Plate tectonics
Across
- 3. occurs where two tectonic plates move away from each other, creating new crust as magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap
- 5. Plates collide, causing subsection or mountain building.
Down
- 1. The plastic, partially molten layer beneath the lithosphere on which plates move.
- 2. he solid, rigid outer shell of the Earth, comprising the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle
- 4. a tectonic plate margin where two plates slide horizontally past one another, neither creating nor destroying lithosphere
