Across
  1. 1. a place in Earth's lithosphere where magma from the mantle can be found
  2. 5. less dense, and thus rises above cool air
  3. 8. a transform fault located in California
  4. 11. the smallest particle size in soil, very low permeability
  5. 12. occurs in the South Pacific when trade winds weaken
  6. 13. created by the Earth's spin
  7. 14. forms under high pressure and heat
Down
  1. 2. the top horizon of soil, contains humus
  2. 3. contains the ozone layer
  3. 4. occurs in the South Pacific when trade winds strengthen
  4. 6. occurs at mountain ranges bordering large bodies of water and controls how the moisture moves up and down the mountain
  5. 7. an oceanic circulation pattern that drives mixing of surface water and deep water
  6. 9. heating effect of increased pressure on air as it sinks toward Earth’s surface and decreases in volume
  7. 10. currents that flow in clockwise or counterclockwise patterns that redistribute heat in the ocean
  8. 15. the ability for a surface to reflect sunlight
