Across
  1. 2. The natural features that make up Earth’s surface.
  2. 6. A mountainous landform through which semi-fluid and fluid material from far beneath the Earth's surface escapes.
  3. 7. A landform that is created by volcanic eruptions
  4. 13. When forces within the Earth move layers of rock, forming cracks. this landform is the land that falls between the cracks.
  5. 14. The release of energy through Earth’s crust due to changes taking place beneath it.
  6. 15. Large areas of mostly flat land found at high elevations that are lifted up by movements of the Earth's surface. Also known as tablelands.
  7. 16. An extremely hot fluid or semi-fluid material under the Earth's crust.
Down
  1. 1. When magma/molten rock has reached the Earth's surface from a volcano.
  2. 2. The layer that is 670-2890 km below the Earth's surface. It is made up of iron, oxygen, silicon, magnesium, and aluminum, and it is 3000 degrees Celsius.
  3. 3. A landform created by powerful forces buckling and folding the rock layers of the Earth's surface.
  4. 4. Areas of land that rises high above the surrounding land. They are usually very steep and has a peak at the top.
  5. 5. This layer is made up of the same things as its lower area. It is both a solid and a liquid. It's 670 km below Earth's surface and is about 1400-3000 degrees Celsius.
  6. 8. This layer is a liquid that flows around the centre of the Earth and the movement of the metals creates the Earth's magnetic field.
  7. 9. This layer is made up of iron and nickel and is basically a huge metal ball with the width of 2500 km. it is 5000-6000 degrees Celsius.
  8. 10. A flat, rock base created when an ancient mountain region has been worn away over millions of years.
  9. 11. Depressions in the land created by moving ice, running water, or the movement of land and are usually found in between mountains.
  10. 12. Made up of the oceanic and continental crust that are about 8-70 km thick.
  11. 15. Generally flat to gently rolling stretches of land/region.
