Across
- 2. Plates – Large pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that move over the asthenosphere.
- 3. Core – The liquid layer surrounding the inner core, made of molten metal.
- 4. – The thick layer beneath the crust, made of hot, semi-solid rock.
- 9. – The outermost layer of the atmosphere, where it fades into space.
- 11. – The third layer of the atmosphere, where meteors burn up.
- 14. Core – The solid, dense center of the Earth made of iron and nickel.
- 18. – The lowest layer of the atmosphere where weather occurs and where we live.
- 19. – A small piece of space rock that burns up in the mesosphere.
- 20. – The fourth layer of the atmosphere, where the auroras and the International Space Station are located.
- 23. – Molten rock beneath the Earth's surface.
Down
- 1. – The second layer of the atmosphere, home to the ozone layer.
- 5. Layer – A protective layer in the stratosphere that absorbs most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.
- 6. – The average weather conditions in an area over a long period.
- 7. – An opening in the Earth's crust where magma, gases, and ash escape.
- 8. – The rigid outer layer of the Earth, including the crust and the upper mantle.
- 10. – A semi-fluid layer of the mantle below the lithosphere, where rocks flow slowly.
- 12. – The layer of gases surrounding the Earth that supports life and protects it from space.
- 13. – The condition of the atmosphere at a specific place and time.
- 15. – The innermost layer of the Earth, consisting of a solid inner core and a liquid outer core.
- 16. – The outermost layer of the Earth, where we live. It is thin and solid.
- 17. Borealis – Also known as the Northern Lights, colorful lights in the thermosphere caused by solar particles.
- 21. Waves – Vibrations that travel through the Earth, often caused by earthquakes.
- 22. – The force that pulls objects toward the Earth and holds the atmosphere in place.
