- 2. were tectonic plates slide past each other. causes earthquakes.
- 3. Deep, elongated depressions in the ocean aften acossiated with subduction zones
- 4. Formedt plte boundries usually when plates collide.
- 5. Tectonic plates move toward each other, usually forms mountains and volcanoes.
- 7. Forms after weathering and erosion when sediments compact and cement.
- 9. Includes the crust and upper part of the mantle, and it is divided into tectonic plates.

Down
- 1. material rises, cooler materials sink. it drives plate tectonics.
- 6. Formed as a result of high temperature and pressure deep within earth changing a rock that already existed.
- 8. Tectonic plates move toward each other, usually forms a new crust and rift valleys.
- 11. Large, ridged pieces of the earths lithosphere that move and interact with each other along plate boundaries
- 13. AN opening in the Earth's crust through which molten rock is psuhed out and creates a new rock
- 15. New oceanic crust is formed as tectonic plates pull apart magma rises.
- 16. located between the mantle and outer core.
- 18. A group of the same species living in the same area.
