Plate Tetonics
Across
- 2. when oceanic plates diverge and magma rises through the crust and forms new crust
- 5. A deep valley along the ocean floor
- 8. the theory that the continents have drifted away from each other
- 9. the original super continent
- 13. the process in which 2 plates are diverging forming new crust along the Mid Atlantic ridge
- 14. plates situated throughout the lithosphere
- 16. Molten rock
- 17. when 2 continental plates slide horizontally past each other
- 18. Soft layer of the mantle
- 19. when 2 continental plates collide with each other
Down
- 1. Outermost, rigid layer of the Earth
- 2. The longest mid ocean ridge on the planet
- 3. Usually near tectonic plates a tremor in the Earths surface
- 4. when 2 plates collide with each other
- 6. Came up with the theory of Continental Drift
- 7. fractures in the earths crust
- 10. formed when 2 continental plates diverge
- 11. Line of volcanic islands formed by plates colliding and one plate sliding under the other
- 12. when 2 plates diverge from each other
- 15. when an oceanic plate slides under a continental plate
