Terrestrial dynamics
Across
- 4. the unic continent was 225 milions of years ago.
- 6. the smallest continent of the world.
- 9. the plates can be oceanic, continental or mixed.
- 10. a sudden violent shaking of the ground
- 12. with edges of oceanic crust and continental crust edges.
- 14. is the layer of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks that forms the continents and the areas of shallow.
- 15. when the tectonic plates separate.
- 17. is a is the rigid outermost shell of the Earth and comprises.
- 18. sources are responsible for modeling the relief by external geological cycle weathering, erosion, transport and sedimentation.
- 19. when the tectonic plates friction.
- 20. is a portion of a continent that is submerged under an area of relatively shallow water known as a shelf sea.
Down
- 1. when the tectonic plates crash.
- 2. are underwater mountain with a height between 2-3 km and about 80.000 km long where oceanic crust is formed.
- 3. old the continents fit and made it.
- 5. put those two things together and you have an abyssal plain, which refers to the huge, flat areas on the ocean floor.
- 7. is the uppermost layer of the oceanic portion of a tectonic plate.
- 8. are topographic depressions of the sea floor, relatively narrow in width, but very long.
- 11. which is part of the upper mantle, consisting of semi-liquid and highly viscous materials.
- 13. the comparatively steep slope from a continental shelf to the ocean floor.
- 16. he invented the theory of tectonic plates.
