Across
  1. 2. the lithosphere is broken into these separate sections
  2. 3. a dense ball of solid metal that is under extreme pressure
  3. 5. a boundary where two plates move apart
  4. 9. a boundary that forms when two plates come together
  5. 11. created by the movements in the liquid outer core
  6. 19. waves produced inside the Earth by an Earth Quake
  7. 24. stes that pieces of the Earth's lithosphere are in slow, constant motion driven by convection currents in the mantle
  8. 25. layer of solid rock that includes both dry land and the ocean floor
  9. 27. any trace of ancient organisms that have been preserved in rock
  10. 28. makes up the majority of the Ocean crust and is a dark rock with a fine texture
  11. 32. a deep valley that forms along a divergent boundary
  12. 33. the sea floor spreads apart along both sides of a mid-ocean ridge and new crust is added
Down
  1. 1. a device that bounces sound waves off underwater objects and records the echoes of the sound waves
  2. 2. results from a force pressing on an area
  3. 4. heat transfer by the movement of currents within a fluid
  4. 6. means all lands and formed the super continent in Wegener's Theory
  5. 7. layer of hot solid rock beneath the crust - made up of the lithosphere and athenosphere
  6. 8. what something is made of
  7. 10. breaks in the Earth's crust where the rocks have slipped past each other
  8. 12. place where the oceanic crust bends downward and sinks back into the mantle
  9. 13. scientist who studies the Earth
  10. 14. measuree of how much mass there is in a volume of a substance
  11. 15. molten layer above the Earth's outer core that contains convection currents
  12. 16. heat transfer with in a material or between materials that are touching - direct contact
  13. 17. a well-tested concept that explains a wide range of observations
  14. 18. theory that the continents slowly moved over the Earth's surface
  15. 20. an underwater mountain range where new sea floor is created
  16. 21. a measure of how hot or cold an object is compared to a reference point
  17. 22. upppermost part of the mantle - means stone - tectonic plates
  18. 23. layer of molten metal - nickel and iron that surrounds the inner core
  19. 26. the process by which the ocean floor sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench
  20. 29. transfer of energy through a space - no direct contact takes place
  21. 30. a boundary where two plates slip past each other moving in opposite directions
  22. 31. rock that makes up most of the Continental crust 0 light in color and has a course texture
