Across
  1. 4. a process that involves the movement of energy from one place to another.
  2. 10. a boundary where plates slide past each other
  3. 11. an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide
  4. 13. continuous narrow break in the Earth's crust that extends from northern California southward to Cajon Pass near San Bernardino
  5. 14. where Earth's tectonic plates dive back into the mantle
  6. 16. the formation of new areas of oceanic crust, which occurs through the upwelling of magma at midocean ridges and its subsequent outward movement on either side.
  7. 17. the outermost layer of Earth's lithosphere that is found under the oceans
  8. 18. the gradual movement of the continents across the earth's surface through geological time
Down
  1. 1. a large wave of water coming from underwater earthquake
  2. 2. a path along the Pacific Ocean characterized by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes
  3. 3. the edges where two plates meet.
  4. 5. the person who discovered continental drift
  5. 6. a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action.
  6. 7. the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle
  7. 8. extremely hot liquid and semi-liquid rock located under Earth's surface
  8. 9. the layer of granitic, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks
  9. 12. an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics.
  10. 15. a large super-continent that was on earth almost 200 million years ago
