Plate Tectonics
Across
- 2. Plates that slide against each other.
- 4. Center of the Earth.
- 6. Thin shell on the outside of the Earth. Normally referred to as “the ground”.
- 7. Plates that move away from each other.
- 8. Hot fluid underneath the Earth’s crust.
- 9. When a plate moves sideways and underneath the mantle, going under a different tectonic plate.
Down
- 1. A hole that allows lava to come out from under the Earth; usually found where divergent or convergent plate boundaries reside.
- 3. Plates that move towards each other.
- 4. The movement of heat through matter.
- 5. Shifting of the land caused by all three types of plate boundaries. Results in shaking of the ground and sometimes collapsing of buildings.
