Tectonic plates
Across
- 3. A repetition of activity that can be used to theorize with.
- 6. A hot dense ball in the middle of the earth with iron and nickel.
- 9. The man that theorized continental drift in 1912 because of the similar fossils, rocks, and that Africa and South America fit together like a puzzle piece!.
- 12. When two plates collide into each other and one plate subducts the other. This usually forms a trench underwater.
- 13. A mid ocean ridge over the edges of the Atlantic Ocean.
- 14. A hot spring that erupts jets of water and vapor into steam in the air.
- 16. Heat cycles in the air mantle and ocean. Controls plate tectonics movement.
- 18. When two plates slide against each other.
- 19. The hard solid rock underneath the land and water.
- 20. When one plate slips over another.
Down
- 1. When magma or lava sprouts out from the mantle, or an eruption from volcanoes.
- 2. A liquid layer of earth also with nickel and iron. Borders inner core and the mantle.
- 4. Hard and dense magma underneath tectonic plates.
- 5. When the earth starts to shake violently due to plate tectonics reacting.
- 7. The theory made by Alfred Wegener that all the continents were once one, and then drifted millions of years after.
- 8. When two plates meet at their edges.
- 10. A large slab of rock composed of both the continental and the oceanic lithosphere.
- 11. When two plates go opposite each other and make a ridge. Forms a mid ocean ridge underwater.
- 15. Can be formed in convergent plates or divergent plates, but not transform. And it erupts out lava.
- 17. The speed or time how fast something goes.
