Across
  1. 3. This type of lithospheric plate is less dense, but thicker
  2. 5. mass divided by volume
  3. 6. Hot liquid layer of Earth's interior
  4. 9. this type of boundary can cause earthquakes near the surface due to plates moves past one another. aka strike-slip
  5. 11. zone of earthquakes and volcanoes surrounding the Pacific Ocean
  6. 12. the waves produced by earthquakes
  7. 13. semi-solid rocky layer beneath the surface
  8. 15. heat transfer through direct contact
  9. 16. this type of boundary happens when two plates are moving away from each other
Down
  1. 1. huge wave caused by underwater earthquakes
  2. 2. solid iron & nickel layer of Earth's interior
  3. 3. The layer we live on
  4. 4. This person was the first to coin the term "Pangea" and suggest the idea of moving continents
  5. 7. this type of boundary can create mountains, volcanoes, and deep ocean trenches
  6. 8. This type of lithospheric plate is more dense, but thinner
  7. 10. heat transfer through a liquid
  8. 12. this is created when one plate is being pulled under another
  9. 14. heat transfer through electromagnetic waves
