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