tyler's plate tectonics
Across
- 3. a break in earth's crust along which rocks move.
- 7. is a structure that forms in earth's crust when molten on land or on the ocean floor.
- 8. a giant wave usually caused by an earthquake beneath the ocean floor.
- 11. liquid magma that reaches the surface
- 13. an undersea valley that represents one of the deepest parts of the ocean.
- 15. force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume.
- 16. the measurement of an earthquake's strength
- 17. the shaking that results from the movement of rock beneath earth's surface.
- 18. a plate boundary where tow plates move past each other in opposite directions.
- 19. an undersea mountain chain where the new ocean floor is produced is a divergent plate boundary under the ocean.
Down
- 1. an area where magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust above it.
- 2. a plate boundary where tow plates move away from each other.
- 4. a plate boundary where tow plates move toward each other.
- 5. stress they stretch rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle.
- 6. stress that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks.
- 9. the process with oceanic crust sinks beneath a deep ocean trench and back into the mantle at a convergent plate boundary.
- 10. is a molten mixture of rock forming substances,gases,and water from the mantle.
- 12. stress that pushes masses of rock in opposite directions in sideways movement.
- 14. term used to describe a volcano that is no longer active and unlikely to erupt again.
- 15. the process with molten material adds new oceanic crust to the ocean floor.
