The Planet Earth
Across
- 1. The energy from the core of the Earth that causes the magma to flow in the mantle.
- 3. The smallest tectonic plate.
- 6. The temperature of this layer is approximately 4500 degrees Celcius.
- 7. The geological change when where two or more of Earth's tectonic plates are pushed together.
- 9. The second name of the geologist who introduced the continental drift theory.
- 12. The heat transfer process in fluids.
- 15. The condition of volcanoes that have not erupted in a long time but are expected to erupt again in the future
- 16. Hot molten or semifluid rock in the mantle of Earth.
- 19. This plate lies between North American plate and South American plate.
- 20. A funnel-shaped depression that usually lies directly above the vent from which volcanic material is ejected.
Down
- 2. Two tectonic plates sliding past each other.
- 4. In this layer iron (Fe) and nickel (Ni) are in the phase of liquid (molten).
- 5. The combination of Earth's crust and upper mantle.
- 8. The modern idea to replace the theory of continental drift.
- 10. Energy or particles from a source that travel through space or other mediums.
- 11. The Himalayan mountain range was formed due to the interaction between this plate and Eurasian plate.
- 13. The tectonic plate beneath the ocean.
- 14. A geological process in which the oceanic lithosphere is recycled into the Earth's mantle at convergent boundaries.
- 17. The most common non metal element in Earth's crust.
- 18. When magma flows or erupts onto Earth's surface.
