Across
- 2. physical features of Earth's surface
- 3. the study of different types of Earth science, can be inside out outside Earth, atmosphere, weather, and more
- 7. thicker line on topography maps, usually every 5th contour line
- 9. Tectonic plate that are under land masses
- 10. study of shape on Earth's surface and its physical features, includes their elevations
- 13. Tectonic Plates that are at the sea floor, not under land
- 14. Circular movement in the asthenosphere that moves the lithosphere, causing transform, convection, and diverging
- 16. process where water, ice wind, or gravity takes and moves sediments
- 17. huge pieces of lithosphere slowing moving on the asthenosphere, consisting of crusts and the uppermost part of the mantle
- 18. A mountain system in the seafloor caused by divergent boundaries
- 19. mechanical/chemical process that breaks sediment into smaller pieces
- 20. Supercontinent that existed millions of years ago
Down
- 1. 2nd theory describing the history of Earth's surface, saying the lithosphere is divided into plates that are ontop of the asthenosphere moving, developed by Dan McKenzie
- 4. the 1st theory describing history of Earth's surface saying that all the continents were once joined together as a supercontinent and drifted apart, deeloped by Alfred Wegener
- 5. distance above the sea level
- 6. difference in the elevation on topography maps between two contour lines
- 8. line on a topographic map connecting to points with same elevation, showing shape of landforms
- 11. images or photos of certain areas on Earth taken from space
- 12. a map showing elevation and shapes of the surface using contour lines
- 15. fragments of weathered sediment that was eroded and placed into a new place by wind, water, ice, or gravity
