Across
- 1. Tectonics The theory that the continents were all connected into one super-continent that broke apart over time to give us the continents that we all know today.
- 5. When the edge of one tectonic plate goes under the edge of another tectonic plate due to density.
- 7. The upper part of the mantle that is just below the lithosphere.
- 10. When an organism is dried out from removal of water or moisture.
- 11. A large mass on the earth that makes the lithosphere move downwards and makes the asthenosphere compress.
- 14. Boundary Where two tectonic plates converge.
- 15. drift The movement of continents and tectonic plates over the asthenosphere.
Down
- 2. Boundary Where two tectonic plates slide against each other.
- 3. The organisms that live in the substrate or sediments of a body of water.
- 4. Boundary Where two tectonic plates diverge.
- 6. A ridge that’s very long and narrow.
- 8. Zonation is different areas or zones in a marine environment.
- 9. The layer of the earth that contains the crust and the upper mantle.
- 12. Shelf The part of the ocean that gets very shallow near the shoreline.
- 13. Vent Vents in the seafloor on top of divergent boundaries were hot magma gets released creating black smoke.
