Across
  1. 1. an area where one plate is moving underneath another plate
  2. 3. type of volcano that is created when magma is too thick to move so it just piles up
  3. 5. where 2 plates are coming together
  4. 6. created the theory of seafloor spreading
  5. 8. giant wave of water caused by a major earthquake
  6. 13. type of volcano that looks more like a gentle hill
  7. 14. sudden downshift in land caused by earthquakes
  8. 16. area surrounding the Pacific Ocean with lots of volcanoes and earthquakes
  9. 18. type of evidence used by Wegener where he found that the same rocks were found on different continents and mountain ranges match up
  10. 19. type of evidence used by Wegener where he found evidence of glaciers in warm places and fossil fuels in Antarctica

Down
  1. 2. type of volcano that releases cinders
  2. 4. caused by sudden movement in the Earth, causes the ground to shake
  3. 7. stationary area of the Earth with a plume of magma that goes down into the mantle, the crust moves over the top of it
  4. 9. areas in the Earth where magma erupts on the surface
  5. 10. where 2 plates are sliding past each other
  6. 11. where 2 plates are pulling apart
  7. 12. created the theory of continental drift
  8. 15. type of evidence used by Wegener where he noticed that some continents seem to fit together like puzzle pieces
  9. 17. type of volcano with very destructive eruptions
