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