Tectonic Plates By: Jessica Dao
Across
- 3. occur when a dense plate subducts below a less dense plate as they converge
- 4. most of landmasses of Europe and Asia
- 5. occurs when continental plates of equal density converge
- 6. including the continental crust of India and Australia and the surrounding oceanic crust
- 9. a frequent occurrence at transform boundaries
Down
- 1. the continental crust of Africa and surrounding oceanic crust
- 2. including the continental crust of Greenland, North America, Siberia, and the surrounding oceanic crust
- 7. including the continental crust of South America and oceanic crust
- 8. lies beneath the Pacific Ocean
- 10. Occurs when one plate is denser than another and is forced below as the two plates converge at their boundary
