Plate Tectonics, Volcanoes, and Earthquakes.
Across
- 3. the shaking of the surface of the Earth resulting from a sudden release of energy
- 5. Earth's deepest layer
- 7. A mountain or hill, which is usually conical, having a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas that have been erupted from the earth's crust.
- 10. Hot semisolid rock erupted from a volcano or fissure.
- 11. When two plates push together
- 12. relating to earthquakes or other vibrations of the earth
- 14. The border between two tectonic plates.
- 15. hot fluid or semifluid material below or within the earth's crust
- 17. Earth's second deepest layer
- 18. When two plates pull apart
Down
- 1. Below the Crust, the third deepest layer.
- 2. Earth's most outer layer
- 4. Under the lithosphere, the upper layer of the earth's mantle
- 6. When one plate gets pulled under another
- 8. a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock
- 9. When two plates slide next to each other
- 10. Made up of the crust, this zone is divided into several constantly moving plates of solid rock that hold the continents and oceans.
- 13. Cracks in the Earth's crust where there is movement
- 16. Little particles blown from the eruption of a volcano
- 19. A dropped zone where two tectonic plates are pulling apart.
