Across
- 6. is a geographic area containing numerous geologically related mountains. A mountain system or system of mountain ranges sometimes is used to combine several geological features that are geographically (regionally) related, example: the Pacific Ring of Fire and the Alpide Belt
- 9. areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys
- 10. Magma rises but does not break the surface, example: Navajo Mountain in the United States
- 12. a fold with younger layers closer to the center of the structure
- 13. a fold that is convex up and has its oldest beds at its core
- 15. are volcanic regions thought to be fed by underlying mantle that is anomalously hot compared with the mantle elsewhere. They may be on, near to, or far from tectonic plate boundaries, example: Hawaii, Réunion, Yellowstone, Galápagos, and Iceland
Down
- 1. Mountains eroded and weathered , altering their characteristics over time, example: the Rocky Mountains of Colorado
- 2. a beam of electromagnetic radiation is a particular electromagnetic field pattern of radiation measured in a plane perpendicular to the propagation direction of the beam
- 3. Large flat area of land, example: the Adirondack Mountains in the United States
- 4. Made by collision events, example: the Himalayas of Asia and the Alps in Europe
- 5. Cracked sideways or verticle movement of large crustal blocks when Earth's crust pull apart, example: The Sierra Nevada of the western United States
- 7. Molten rock (magma) deep within the Earth erupts and piles upon the surface. Lave piles layer upon layer, example: Mount Elbrus in Russia, Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia, Cotopaxi in Ecuador, and Mount Aconcagua in Argentina.
- 8. The Process of moving weathered rock and soil by wind, water, and ice
- 11. molten rock inside the Earth
- 14. magma that has reaching the surface
- 15. the raised fault block bounded by normal faults or graben, is formed from extension of the Earth's crust, example: The Vosges Mountains in France and Black Forest in Germany
