Across
- 3. a huge supercontinent, wegener called it this
- 4. when one plate sinks beneath another plate
- 7. a motion that transfers heat energy in a material where the dense materials sink and the light go to the top
- 9. Earths thickest layer, measuring nearly 2900 kilometers (1700 miles)
- 11. a layer os hotter softer rock in the upper mantle, below the lithosphere
- 13. a thin layer of cool rock
- 15. occurs where plates move apart, these are mostly fond in the ocean
- 16. energy transfered by the movement of material
- 18. the switch in direction where the north poles become the south poles and the south poles become the north poles
- 20. these occur when ridges continue to widen,a gap
Down
- 1. occurs when plates push together
- 2. the lithospere broken into many large and small slabs of rock form these
- 5. a layer of liquid metals that surronds the inner core
- 6. a ball of hot, solid metals
- 8. occurs where plates scrape past eachother
- 10. a fracture, or break, in Earths lithospher, along which blocks of rock move past eachother
- 12. heated rock that rises in plumes, or in thin colunms fromthe mantle
- 14. a underwater mountain range
- 17. Earth's crust and the very top of the mantle together form this
- 19. the force exerted when an object presses on,pulls on,pushes against another object
