Plate Tectonics
Across
- 1. The process in which an oceanic plate is forced into the mantle.
- 4. The parts of the lithosphere that are continuously moving.
- 5. Plates that are made of thick, old, and buoyant crust.
- 7. The scientist who proposed the idea of Continental Drift.
- 9. The rigid outer shell of the earth that are made of the crust and upper mantle.
- 10. The type of plate boundary in which an oceanic plate is forced underneath a continental plate.
- 11. The type of boundary in which the two plates are moving away from each other.
- 13. The super continent that drifted apart to make the continents we know today.
- 14. The hot substance the resides under the earth's crust.
Down
- 2. The theory proposed by Alfred Wegener about plate tectonics and their movement.
- 3. A fracture in the rock where movement has occurred.
- 6. Plates that are made of thin, young, and dense crust.
- 8. Several volcanoes that form a geometric shape in and along the Pacific Ocean.
- 12. The type of plate boundary in which the two plates grind against each other.
