Across
- 4. A super continent that was a thing millions of years ago and was all of the continents we have today combined
- 5. A type of boundary where both tectonic plates pull away from each other
- 12. The Earth's primary divisions, consisting of the outermost crust, the middle mantle, and the central core
- 14. A hot, semi-fluid layer of the upper mantle, directly beneath the Earth's lithosphere
- 16. Volcanic rock formed when molten, typically basaltic lava erupts underwater or flows into the ocean
- 19. A rock formed by the slow cooling of magma deep beneath the Earth's surfac
- 20. underwater system of volcanic mountains and valleys that snakes around the globe
- 22. The theory that the continents used to be one continent called Pangea
- 23. A field around our earth
- 24. The scientist who mad the theory of continental drift
- 25. a curved chain of volcanic islands formed at a convergent tectonic plate boundary where one oceanic plate subducts beneath another
Down
- 1. When one tectonic plate buckles underneath the other
- 2. A type of boundary where one tectonic plate subducts underneath the other
- 3. The study of Earth's magnetic field
- 6. A natural disaster that happens when two tectonic plates run against each other and create a massive outburst of energy
- 7. A scientist that is a women and found that the bottom of the ocean is different then it used to be
- 8. a system for the detection of objects under water and for measuring the water's depth by putting out sound pulses
- 9. A rock or item turned to liquid form by heating
- 10. A dark volcanic rock that tectonic plates are mostly made of
- 11. The outermost and thinnest layer of the Earth
- 13. A incredibly hot place under the mantle that makes tectonic plates move
- 15. A type of boundary where the tectonic plates slide right past each other
- 17. A geological process occurring at mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates pull apart and magma rises from the mantle to create new oceanic crust
- 18. Soundwaves that scientists use to determine how deep a certain part of the ocean is
- 21. A crack in the Earth's surface that was made by tectonic plates pulling apart
