Across
- 5. ______ CRUST IS THICK BUT LESS DENSE AND IS NOT COVERED WITH WATER
- 6. This type of plate boundary has resulted from the collision of plates
- 8. the highest peak in the Philippines
- 12. refers to a deep part of the ocean and is caused by a convergence of plates
- 13. __________ boundary happens when plates move apart from each other causing to a formation of new crust
- 14. the Himalayas mountain range was formed by the convergence of eurasian and ___________ plates
- 15. ___________ process where a denser plate moves beneath/under a less dense plate
- 16. Oceanic __________ is also referred to as underwater mountain ranges and is caused by the divergence of plates
- 18. the longest mountain range in the philippines spanning for over 540 kilometers
