  1. 5. relating to the heat produced within the Earth, often used for energy
  2. 6. the rigid outer layer of the Earth, comprising the crust and upper mantle
  3. 9. Flow a fast-moving current of hot gas and volcanic matter that flows down the slopes of a volcano
  4. 12. the process by which sediment and rocks are laid down or deposited in a new location
  5. 16. Mountains mountains formed by volcanic activity, where magma has erupted and solidified
  6. 18. a type of tectonic plate boundary where plates move apart from each other
  7. 19. the very hot, very dense center of our planet
  8. 21. Mountain mountains formed by the folding of the Earth's crust due to tectonic forces
  9. 23. the process of wearing away rocks and soil due to wind, water, or ice movement
  10. 24. the semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere where convection currents occur
  11. 25. a type of tectonic plate boundary where plates slide past one another horizontally
  12. 26. Mountain mountains created by faulting, where blocks of the crust are lifted or tilted
  13. 27. molten rock located beneath the Earth's surface
Down
  1. 1. one large area of land that, in theory, broke apart to create the present continents
  2. 2. the planet's outermost, solid, rocky layer
  3. 3. Trench a long, deep valley in the ocean floor formed by subduction of tectonic plates
  4. 4. the process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces through physical, chemical, or biological means
  5. 7. Zone a region where one tectonic plate sinks beneath another into the mantle
  6. 8. the thickest layer of the planet, situated between the crust and the core
  7. 10. a type of tectonic plate boundary where plates move toward each other, often causing one to subduct
  8. 11. Ridge an underwater mountain range formed by diverging tectonic plates
  9. 13. Volcano a broad, gently sloping volcano formed by the flow of low-viscosity lava
  10. 14. a supercontinent of the Southern Hemisphere that existed before it broke up into the current continents
  11. 15. molten rock that emerges from a volcano onto the Earth's surface
  12. 16. an opening in the Earth's crust through which lava, ash, and gases are expelled
  13. 17. the movement of weathered materials from one location to another
  14. 20. Ranges a series of connected mountains that are often formed by tectonic processes
  15. 22. Mountains mountains formed by the uplifting of the Earth's crust, creating a dome shape
