plate tectonics
Across
- 4. more viscous towards center begins to solidify as it moves closer to surface
- 6. plates slide past each other
- 8. study of formation,movement and interactions of these
- 10. solid, mostly iron, solid due to extreme preassure
- 12. when plates slip past each other this occurs
- 13. plates move toward each other
- 14. semi-molton rock located below earths surface
Down
- 1. plates move apart
- 2. liquid, mostly iron, but more elements and minerals than inner core
- 3. break/crack where movement occurs
- 5. earths lithosphere
- 7. molten rock located above the earths surface
- 9. allows magma to escape to the surface
- 11. how the continents got to be where they are
