Tectonic Plates
Across
- 3. Two plates move sideways against each other
- 5. Regions where plates meet
- 6. Continents slowly drift over the ocean floor until they reach there current positions
- 10. Crust gets bent and pulled under or beneath the lighter thicker crust
- 11. Huge ocean wave caused by a sudden shift of ocean floor
Down
- 1. Plates move over the softer asthenosphere of the mantle
- 2. Huge mountain range under the water
- 4. Sea floor speeding away from each other
- 6. Deepest region of the ocean
- 7. Occurs when plates suddenly jerk apart
- 8. Two plates collide
- 9. Heat rises from the core into the mantle
- 12. floor spreading Formation of new crust due to uprising of underlaying magma
