Across
- 3. outer most layer of earths surface which is rocky and solid; includes the crust and the ridged part of the upper mantle
- 8. the process in which one lithosphere plate slides under another; occurs at converging plate boundaries
- 9. rocky material that makes up the continents; it is less dense and contains a greater amount of lighter colored minerals that oceanic crust
- 11. form where lithospheric plates are moving away from each other
- 12. mountains formed when rocks move along faults leaving blocks of crust at different elevations
- 13. on a map a line that connects points of equal elevation above sea level
Down
- 1. under sea mountain range that forms where two parts of earths crust are pushing apart
- 2. height above sea leval
- 4. portion of earths crust that lies beneath the oceans; it is thinner than continental crust
- 5. formed when two sections of earths crust are colliding
- 6. mountains formed by the bending of rocks
- 7. a boundary between two lithospheric plates are sliding past each other
- 10. map that shows the shape and elevation of the land surface using contour lines and shows other land features using symbols
