Tectonic Plates
Across
- 4. WAVES, Waves of energy through Earth's layers, the result of earthquakes.
- 6. DRIFT, A theory that explained how continents moved on Earth's surface.
- 8. An extremely hot, semi-molten liquid stored under the Earth's surface.
- 9. The end-result of the movement of tectonic plates.
- 11. When the Earth's crust is subjected to extreme pressure and begins to fold over itself.
- 13. WEGENER, A German who proposed the theory of tectonic plates.
- 16. The outer layer covered in overlapping tectonic plates.
- 17. Where an earthquake begins from.
Down
- 1. BOUNDARY, When tectonic plates move away from each-other
- 2. What scientists use to detect and record earthquakes.
- 3. MANTLE, The liquid layer beneath the upper mantle.
- 4. The second wave of seismic waves, slower then P waves.
- 5. CORE, A liquid layer wrapping around the inner core.
- 7. BOUNDARY, When tectonic plates slide past each-other.
- 10. MANTLE, A very thick layer beginning under the Earth's crust.
- 12. BOUNDARY, When tectonic plates moving towards each-other.
- 14. Fractures in the Earth's crust from extreme forces caused by moving rocks in the asthenosphere.
- 15. Fastest and first seismic waves, also called primary waves.
