Across
  1. 3. Two plates collide at this boundary type
  2. 5. Where are the Aleutian Islands?
  3. 8. Two plates divide apart at this boundary type
  4. 10. may occur at every plate boundary except continental to continental convergence
  5. 12. This plate is known as the Ring of Fire
  6. 14. These two plate types converge to form islands
  7. 15. layer where convection currents occur that move the lithosphere
  8. 18. Earth's hottest and densest layer
Down
  1. 1. type of mountain that forms when two continental plates converge
  2. 2. Earth's largest layer
  3. 4. may occur at every plate boundary
  4. 6. layer that carries/inckludes the crust
  5. 7. forms when an oceanic plate diverges
  6. 9. New ocean basins may form when this plate type diverges
  7. 11. forms in ocean, on densest side when two plates converge
  8. 13. This volcanic mountain range forms when the Nazcan plate subducts under the S.American plate.
  9. 16. Earthquakes are very common at this boundary type
