Across
  1. 1. a location where a Divergent Plate Boundary is spreading apart
  2. 3. A tectonic plate found beneath the continents
  3. 4. This meets the Eurasian Plate at the Divergent Plate Boundary in Iceland
  4. 7. african and Eurasian plates come together in a Convergent Plate Boundary here
  5. 10. a layer in Earth's mantle between the lithosphere (above) and the upper mantle (below)
  6. 11. the process of one tectonic plate melting or going beneath another
  7. 13. When two plates tear apart from each other
  8. 17. an area of rock that has been bent by stress.
  9. 18. where all of the stress and energy of an earthquake is stored
  10. 19. The area between two plates that creates pressure and stress that will cause earthquakes
Down
  1. 2. the outer, solid portion of the Earth. Also called the geosphere. Right above the Asthenosphere.
  2. 3. When two plates come together and creates a Subduction
  3. 5. An example of Uplift
  4. 6. A series of mountains and volcanoes mostly underwater
  5. 8. A map that shows the Mid-Ocean Ridge and other volcanoes
  6. 9. a split between two bodies (for example, two plates) that once were joined
  7. 12. when two plates crash in to each other and create mountains
  8. 14. This meets the North-American Plate at the Divergent Plate Boundary in Iceland
  9. 15. when stress builds up and plates give way
  10. 16. Movement When two plates collide sideways
