Across
  1. 3. Type of boundary where plates are sliding next to each other but in opposite directions
  2. 4. Layer between the crust and the Earth's core
  3. 7. Where plates are colliding with each other
  4. 9. A deep valley in the Earth's crust that is much deeper than the area around it
  5. 11. A layer of 'plastic' semi-solid rock in the upper mantle
  6. 13. A huge wave in the ocean caused by an Earthquake occurring on the seafloor
  7. 14. A place where extremely hot material from inside the Earth erupts at the surface
  8. 15. The process of continents breaking up, sinking and allowing the ocean in
  9. 16. Isolated places away from plate boundaries where a lot of hot magma is being created
Down
  1. 1. Where plates are moving apart from each other in opposite directions
  2. 2. Hot liquid rock found under the Earth's surface
  3. 5. Made up of the crust and the upper-most mantle
  4. 6. Where the crust is sinking down into the Earth
  5. 7. The separating of the continents by drifting across the oceans
  6. 8. The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an Earthquake
  7. 10. The place below ground where an Earthquake starts
  8. 12. The rapid movement of the ground, back and forth and up and down, as a result of tectonic plate movement
