  1. 3. a circulating flow of material within a fluid,these currents are a fundamental process that drives large-scale geological events like plate tectonics
  2. 5. a group or chain of mountains that are closely connected, often formed by similar geological processes like tectonic forces
  3. 6. a deep, narrow depression in the Earth's surface formed by subduction at convergent plate boundaries
  4. 7. a type of tectonic plate boundary where two plates slide horizontally past each other, causing earthquakes but not the creation or destruction of the lithosphere
  5. 8. the zone where two tectonic plates meet
  6. 9. tectonic plate boundary where two plates pull apart from each other, creating new crust as magma rises to fill the gap
  7. 10. a continuous underwater mountain range, formed at a divergent tectonic plate boundary where magma rises to create new oceanic crust
Down
  1. 1. a long, narrow depression in the Earth's crust formed by tectonic plates pulling apart at a divergent boundary
  2. 2. a type of convergent plate boundary where one tectonic plate slides beneath another and sinks into the Earth's mantle
  3. 4. where two tectonic plates collide, causing geological events like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formation
