  2. 5. hot liquid and semi-liquid rock located under Earth's surface
  3. 9. current, a current in a fluid that results from convection
  4. 10. spreading, a geologic process in which tectonic plates—large slabs of Earth's lithosphere—split apart from each other
Down
  1. 1. zone, plate tectonic boundaries where two plates converge, and one plate is thrust beneath the other
  2. 2. boundary, occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other
  3. 3. boundary, causes a fault between two plates of the lithosphere, which will slide past one another
  4. 6. ridge, occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth's tectonic plates spread apart
  5. 7. openings, or vents where lava, tephra, and steam erupt onto the Earth's surface
  6. 8. valley, a lowland region that forms where Earth's tectonic plates move apart
