tectonics plates
Across
- 2. An area of many fractured pieces of crust along a large fault
- 6. parallel ridges that form where blocks of crust move up or down along faults
- 7. Are deep underwater troughs created by one plates subducting under another plate at convergent plate boundary
- 9. A state in which magnetized objects would reverse direction and orient themselves to point geographically south
- 10. When large regions rise vertically with very little deformation form
- 12. new oceanic crust forms along a mid-ocean ridge and older oceanic crust moves away from the ridge
- 14. The magnetic field_____directions
Down
- 1. all continents that were once connected as a supercontinent
- 3. Mountain ranges in the middle of the ocean
- 4. A curved line of volcanoes that forms parallel to a plate boundary
- 5. magnetized objects, such as compass needles, will orient themselves to point geographically north
- 8. Are made of layers of rock that are folded
- 11. fault Where tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other
- 13. that continents are in constant motion on the surface of the earth
