Plate Tectonics

1. An area of rock bent as a result of stress.
2. A Mountain or hill, typically conical that contains a vent of lava.
4. A large movement of water as a result of an earthquake or tectonic activity.
5. A depression in the Earth's crust.
6. The theory that the layout of the earths continents changes.
8. A large mass of land risen from the crust as a result of tectonic activity.
9. The centre of the Earth.
10. The thick, dense layer of earth between The Earth's core and crust
11. Geology/ the study of the earths physical history.
13. The process of tectonic plates moving apart.
14. Large moveable sections of the lithosphere.
15. The deformation of the lithosphere.
16. Interaction between two or more plates resulting in a plate to get pushed/pulled down.
18. A Split between two bodies.

1. An area of fracturing between rocks resulting from stress.
3. A depression in the oceans floor caused when two plates converge causing one plate to get pushed downwards.
6. The process of two or more tectonic plates moving toward each other.
7. Sublayers of the earths crust that move, collide and cause earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis.
12. The study of tectonism
17. The outer layer of earth.
