Across
- 6. An underwater mountain range formed by plate tectonics. It is where magma rises from the Earth's mantle, causing the seafloor to spread.
- 9. a theory that proposed electricity gave life on earth suitable conditions
- 13. the outer layer of earth
- 14. sir Issac newton created this theory
- 16. hydrothermal vents found on the ocean floor, typically along mid-ocean ridges. They release superheated water that has many nutrients.
- 18. deepest point in all the ocean
- 19. a region that forms where tectonic plates move apart. These are often found along mid-ocean ridges, and magma rises to the surface.
- 20. A large, mountain that rises from the ocean floor but does not reach the water's surface, formed from extinct volcanoes.
Down
- 1. a margin near a trench or underwater volcane
- 2. erosion channel of an underwater slope
- 3. the ocean crust if much more what than the contential crust
- 4. what is in the smoke in white and black hydrothermal vents
- 5. A type of hydrothermal vent typically at mid-ocean ridges. It releases, mineral-rich water that appear white due to of barium sulfate, which mixes with cold seawater.
- 7. A underwater volcanic mountain with a flat top, created by erosion from waves then went under water due to rising sea levels.
- 8. 1st accomplished western navigation in the medeterianian
- 10. where was the first laboratory designed for oceanic study
- 11. when 2 techtonic plates move apart
- 12. First to circumnavigate the globe
- 15. when 2 techtonic plates move together
- 17. first life forms on earth
