Across
- 2. Stress that pulls something apart
- 5. The upward vertical motion of Earth’s surface
- 7. Areas of subsidence and regions with low elevation
- 8. The equilibrium between continental crust and the denser mantle below it
- 10. Made of many layers of rocks that are folded
- 11. Flat regions with high elevations
- 13. Where tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other
- 15. When large regions rise vertically with very little deformation
- 16. An extensive area of level or rolling land
Down
- 1. Squeezing stress
- 3. The downward vertical motion of Earth’s surface
- 4. A curved line of volcanoes that forms parallel to a plate boundary
- 6. An area of many fractured pieces of crust along a large fault
- 9. A change in the shape of rock caused by stress
- 10. Ridges that form where blocks of crust move up or down along faults
- 12. Deep, underwater troughs created by one plate subducting under another plate at a convergent plate boundary
- 14. Parallel forces acting in opposite directions
