Across
- 2. are when magma (molten rock)rises up from the mantle and is forced to the Earth's surface.
- 6. Shearing; contact between two plates that slide horizontally past one another, commonly connecting two mid-ocean ridges.
- 8. Occur along spreading centers where plates are moving apart and new crust is created by magma pushing up from the mantle.
Down
- 1. Where two plates are moving toward each other.
- 3. Trenches it is deep, narrow depressions in the ocean floor that are formed at subduction zones, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another.
- 4. Ranges it is typically formed at convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates are moving toward each other.
- 5. It occurs when two tectonic plates move against each other, causing friction and stress to build up in the Earth’s crust.
- 7. tectonics is a scientific theory that explains how significant landforms are created due to Earth's underground movements.
