Across
- 2. Partially molten layer of Earth's mantle beneath the lithosphere.
- 6. Earth's outermost layer, divided into oceanic and continental types.
- 9. Process where one tectonic plate moves beneath another at a convergent boundary.
- 10. Relating to earthquakes or vibrations caused by Earth's movements.
- 12. Outermost rigid layer of Earth, including the crust and upper mantle.
- 13. Fixed mantle plume creating volcanic activity, often forming island chains.
- 14. Core: Solid, dense center of Earth, composed mainly of iron and nickel.
- 15. Tectonics: Theory explaining the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates.
Down
- 1. Crust: Thinner, denser part of Earth's crust found under oceans.
- 3. Transfer of heat through fluid motion, driving plate tectonics in the mantle.
- 4. Layer of Earth beneath the crust, composed of silicate rocks.
- 5. Large ocean wave typically caused by undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
- 7. Crack or opening in Earth's crust, often found at divergent plate boundaries.
- 8. Core: Liquid layer of Earth between the mantle and inner core, composed mainly of iron and nickel.
- 11. Crust: Thicker, less dense part of Earth's crust that makes up continents.
