2. the central part of the earth's core
3. the mass per unit volume of a substance under specified conditions of pressure and temperature
4. boundary type where tectonic plates collide with each other
5. a state of matter with definite mass and shape
6. The lithosphere is broken into many small slabs of rock. Most large plates include BOTH continental crust and oceanic crust
7. what something is made of
8. the layer of the earth between the crust and the core
10. rock that has been melted
