Plate Tectonics
Across
- 3. the center of the earth
- 4. Outermost layer on earth
- 5. the boundary formed by the collision of two lithospheric plates
- 7. the process by which new oceanic lithosphere forms as magma rises towards the surface and solidifies
- 11. pieces of the lithosphere that move around, they each have a different name
- 12. core the outer shell of earth's core and surrounds the inner core
Down
- 1. the boundary between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other
- 2. a thick layer of earth between the crust and the core
- 4. Drift continents were once a single landmass and drifted apart
- 6. a partially molten, plastic like, flowing layer that is located below the solid part of Earth's mantle
- 8. the solid, outer layer of the Earth that consists of the the crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle
- 9. Tectonics pieces of the lithosphere that move around;upper most part of mantle
- 10. core located below the mantle and to the center of the earth
