Plate Tectonics Part 2
Across
- 2. driving force behind plate tectonics
- 3. oceanic crust sinks below continental crust to create volcanoes
- 9. Molten rock BELOW Earth's surface
- 11. To cause damage or DESTROY
- 12. the force applied to a rock and may cause deformation
- 14. two plates come together as result of compression
Down
- 1. opening in the earth's crust where lava, ash, gasses escape
- 3. new ocean floor created at mid-ocean ridge that moves plates apart
- 4. To build up or CREATE
- 5. Squeezing stress that pushes objects together
- 6. two plates pull apart as result of tension
- 7. two plates slide past each other in opposite directions as result of shear
- 8. Stress that pulls an object apart
- 10. Parallel forces acting in opposite directions
- 13. Molten rock ON Earth's surface
