Techtonic plates
Across
- 5. The soft, hot layer beneath the lithosphere that helps plates move.
- 7. The outermost layer of the Earth, which is hard and rigid.
- 9. A boundary where two tectonic plates move towards each other.
- 12. Hot, melted rock found beneath the Earth's surface.
- 14. A boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other.
- 15. A deep, narrow hole in the ocean floor caused by subduction of tectonic plates.
Down
- 1. A mountain that forms when magma from inside the Earth erupts through the surface.
- 2. A sudden shaking of the ground caused by the movement of tectonic plates.
- 3. The movement of heat in the asthenosphere that makes the plates move.
- 4. Large pieces of the Earth's surface that move and cause changes like earthquakes.
- 6. The process where one tectonic plate slides under another.
- 8. Heat that comes from within the Earth, often found near tectonic plate boundaries.
- 10. A crack in the Earth's surface where tectonic plates meet.
- 11. A boundary where two tectonic plates move apart from each other.
- 13. The outermost layer of the Earth, part of the lithosphere.
