Across
  1. 2. Thickest layer, second most outward layer.
  2. 4. Boundaries where plates go in opposite directions, rubbing against each other.
  3. 5. Part of crust that is thinnest.
  4. 8. How energy from plates is released and causes earthquakes.
  5. 9. Part of crust that is the thickest.
  6. 11. Crust and upper layer of the mantle that make up a zone of rigid, brittle rock.
  7. 13. Occurs at mid-ocean ridges, the sea floor spreads apart and new crust forms.
  8. 14. The layer below the lithosphere that is a zone of asphalt like consistency.
  9. 15. What state of matter the outer core is.
Down
  1. 1. Caused by pressure from the plates being released as energy.
  2. 3. Caused by convergent plates coming together.
  3. 6. Happen in the mantle, causes plates to move.
  4. 7. The super continent that was made up of all continets, split apart, and formed today's continents.
  5. 10. Theory that the contients are slowly drifing apart from each other.
  6. 12. Made of the lightest materials, basalts and granites.
