Across
- 4. a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action.
- 8. The average amount of energy of motion in the molecules of a substance
- 9. The transfer of heat by movements of a fluid
- 10. two tectonic plates of the lithosphere move toward one another and collide,____ boundary
- 13. the thickest layer of the earth
- 14. the center of the earth. This is made out of iron and nickel
- 16. this item contains ice and brought water to earth
- 17. The process by which ocenic crust sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle at a convergent plate boundary
- 18. the thinnest layer of the earth
- 19. has a sliding motion and causes a lot of earthquakes,______ boundary
Down
- 1. A hot fluid below the earths crust which lava and other igneous rock is formed by cooling
- 2. The direct transfer of energy through empty space by electromagnetic wave
- 3. exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other, _____boundary
- 5. an area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur
- 6. a theory explaining the structure of the earth's crust and many associated phenomena
- 7. when magma rises through the cracks of the earth and erupts it forms______
- 9. Transfer of heat from one substance to another by direct contact of particles of matter
- 11. The amount of mass in given space
- 12. The amount of force pushing on a surface or area
- 15. this is made from debris of the earth when another planet hit earth. It orbits the earth
