Across
  1. 4. a plate boundary where two plates slide past each other
  2. 5. when one tectonic plates is more dense than another and goes under another less dense tectonic plate
  3. 7. the theory that the continents move due to convection currents in Earth's mantel
  4. 9. a fault that occurs at convergent boundaries
  5. 10. a fault that occurs at transform boundaries
  6. 12. the layer of the Earth where the tectonic plates are
  7. 13. a plate boundary where two plate slide into one another
  8. 16. a floating of matter with more energy over matter with less energy that sinks
  9. 17. a land formation made by a divergent boundary on continental crust
  10. 18. a string of islands formed by subduction at a convergent boundary where oceanic crust meets oceanic crust
Down
  1. 1. a land form caused by subduction at a convergent boundary where oceanic crust meets continental crust
  2. 2. the layer of the Earth that the tectonic plates float on
  3. 3. a land form that is created by pressure above a convergent boundary
  4. 5. a growth of the ocean floor where the newest part is in the middle, while the oldest is at the furthest edges due to a divergent boundary
  5. 6. a land formation made by a divergent boundary on the sea floor
  6. 8. a fault that occurs at divergent boundaries
  7. 11. a violent sudden shaking of the Earth's surface due to slippage
  8. 14. a super continent where all land was once together billions of years ago
  9. 15. a plate boundary where two plates move away from each other
