Across
  1. 5. Soft layer of the mantle
  2. 8. These events are common at plate boundaries and are caused by the motions of the plates or of magma.
  3. 10. Plate boundary where the plates slide past each other
  4. 11. Sections of the Earth’s surface that move-- these sections can include both continental and oceanic crust
  5. 13. One tectonic plate is pushed beneath another plate
  6. 14. Plate boundary where the plates move apart
  7. 15. Layer between the crust and the core
Down
  1. 1. The dividing line where tectonic plates meet
  2. 2. Plate boundary where the plates collide
  3. 3. Outermost layer of the Earth
  4. 4. This happens at a mid-oceanic ridge where 2 plates are moving apart and a new crust is forming
  5. 6. This type is thinner and denser than continental
  6. 7. Outermost rigid layer of the Earth
  7. 9. The point on the Earth’s surface directly above the earthquake
  8. 12. This type is thicker than oceanic and doesn't subduct
