Across
- 4. refers to the shaking of earth as a result of the breaking or shifting of rock of the tectonic plates, which releases seisamic energy.
- 5. are cracks on Earth's crust.
- 6. belt is a region of deformed rocks that is formed when two plates collide and one plate crumples and is uplifted.
- 8. refers to the process of forming mountain and mountain ranges.
- 10. fault is a combination of a strike slip and a dip slip.
- 11. suction occurs between two colliding plates, one subducting underneath the other, whereby convection currents in the upper mantle suck bot plates down.
- 12. ridge a mountain system that is formed on the seafloor.
Down
- 1. resistance occurs when a heavy plate is pulled into the mantle but resist subduction because of friction. This force opposes the slab pull.
- 2. forces act against the driving forces of plate tectonics.
- 3. force resist movement of lithosphere plates.
- 7. trench also created at the subduction zone.
- 9. refers to the movement of faults along the angle of the ault plane.
- 11. pull takes place when a subducting slab sinks into the hot mantle because of a difference in temperature.
- 12. convection is caused by the rising of heat from the core towards the mantle.
