Across
- 1. Plate interaction when two plates move closer to each other.
- 4. Gaps on land created by divergence of two continental plates.
- 5. The place at which two boundaries slide past each other.
- 8. Name of rocks that are created from magma cooling. This also stores magnetic information.
- 9. A deep hole in the ocean created by convergence of oceanic and continental crusts.
- 12. Name of rocks that stores information on Earth’s magnetic field.
- 14. An area where two plates meet.
- 15. The thickest layer of Earth..
- 18. Evidence that supports the Continental Drift Theory: “Continent fit like a __________.”
- 19. Produces high heat in the outer core.
- 20. Area where magma erupts to the surface of Earth.
- 22. Anywhere on Earth where living things exist.
- 24. Second evidence that strongly supports existence of Pangaea.
- 26. Another word for an ocean mountain created by two oceanic plate divergence.
- 27. Name of crusts that are on land.
- 31. A thin semi-liquid layer under the Earth's crust that allows crust to move around.
- 32. System of Earth that that accounts for all gases.
Down
- 2. Shaking of Earth's crust due to plate interaction or movement.
- 3. Name of crusts that are under the ocean.
- 6. System of Earth that accounts for all water, in all forms of state.
- 7. Land feature created when two continental plates converge.
- 10. Last name of the German scientist who suggested the Continental Drift theory.
- 11. Movement of liquid or gas due to heat. This drives tectonic plate movement.
- 13. Melted rocks, found in the mantle.
- 16. Plate interaction when two plates slide past each other, also called Transform.
- 17. Layer of Earth that produces Earth's magnetic field.
- 21. Name for Earth's crust that is broken in to big pieces that fit like a puzzle.
- 23. Plate interaction when two plates move away from each other.
- 25. System of Earth that accounts for all the rocks.
- 28. The solid layer of Earth.
- 29. A series of volcanos that surround Pacific Ocean, accounts for 75% of all volcanos on Earth.
- 30. When one plate pushes down underneath the other plate in convergent boundaries.
