Across
- 3. - A long narrow hilltop, mountain range, or watershed.
- 5. - The sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate.
- 7. - A super-continent that incorporated almost all the landmasses on Earth.
- 8. - To lift up
- 10. - A theory explaining the structure of the earth's crust and many associated phenomena as resulting from the interaction of rigid lithospheric plates.
- 12. - Caused by tectonic plates in the Earth's lithosphere moving apart.
- 13. - large-scale horizontal movements of continents relative to one another and to the ocean basins during one or more episodes of geologic time.
- 16. - A geologic process in which tectonic plates—large slabs of Earth's lithosphere—split apart from each other.
- 18. - Plates Move toward each other.
- 19. - Boundary between two tectonic plates, where the plates are moving horizontally or vertically in opposite directions.
Down
- 1. - Plates slide against each other.
- 2. - Sinking of the ground because of underground material movement.
- 4. - Plates mover Away from each other.
- 6. - A place where there is a long break in the rock that forms the surface of the earth.
- 9. - The outermost shell.
- 11. - The upper layer of the earth's mantle, below the lithosphere, in which there is relatively low resistance to plastic flow and convection is thought to occur.
- 14. - A long, narrow ditch.
- 15. - Contains Lava
- 17. - The rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
