Across
- 3. measurement instruments used for two general purposes: to measure the magnetization of a magnetic material like a ferromagnet, or to measure the strength and, in some cases, the direction of the magnetic field at a point in space.
- 4. that Earth's lithosphere is broken into many pieces—tectonic plates
- 6. as a destructive plate boundary
- 7. plate force is a proposed mechanism for plate motion in plate tectonics
Down
- 1. a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras.
- 2. the study of the record of the Earth's magnetic field in rocks, sediment, or archeological materials.
- 5. boundary, also known as conservative plate boundary since these faults neither create nor destroy lithosphere, is a type of fault whose relative motion is predominantly horizontal in either sinistral or dextral direction.
- 8. a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.
- 9. a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge.
