Plate Tectonics
Across
- 3. A type of plate boundary in which two plates are sliding against each other
- 4. The layer below the Asthenosphere, and encompasses the Outer and Inner Core, and is responsible for the Magnetic Field.
- 6. The process in which when two plates collide, the more dense plate will sink beneath the other less dense plate.
- 7. A large wave of energy in the water released by an earthquake underwater
- 11. A vent in which molten rock will erupt from the vent due to pressure from the mantle.
- 13. A layer of the crust and small part of the mantle in which tectonic plates are.
- 15. A vent in the Earth's crust in which hot water is being erupted due to pressure in the crust.
- 17. A type of Plate boundary in which two plates are colliding into each other, causing one to subduct.
- 19. The movement of Tectonic Plates on the Athenosphere
Down
- 1. molten rock
- 2. The innermost layer of the Earth
- 5. The energy released from movement of plates sliding against each other.
- 8. The largest layer of the Earth, and is mostly liquid with a solid part at the very top.
- 9. A hole or opening in the crust
- 10. A type of plate boundary in which two plates are spreading apart from each other
- 12. The cycle of heated rock in the Mantle.
- 14. liquid magma above the surface
- 16. The only liquid layer of the Earth
- 17. The outermost/thinnest layer of the Earth
- 18. A seismic event in which pressure from a magma/steam chamber is being released through a vent
- 20. The layer which includes the upper mantle and the lithosphere floats on and is responsible for tectonic plates.
