Across
  1. 2. the deformation of rocks
  2. 4. what is formed when cracks in the earth are made and magma is able to rise through
  3. 8. where convention currents occur
  4. 10. what is it called when the blocks move horizontally
  5. 11. the plate boundary where the plates move toward each other
  6. 14. the line formed by the intersection of a horizontal plane and an inclined surface
  7. 16. the plate boundary where the plates move away from each other
  8. 17. a stress which stresses rock in two different directions
  9. 18. the plate boundary where the plates move up and down against each other
  10. 20. the border between two tectonic plates
Down
  1. 1. currents the movement of tectonic plates, made by heat and pressure
  2. 3. the process of tectonic plates running into each other and one sliding beneath the other
  3. 5. faults the fault that occurs when the hanging wall moves down
  4. 6. faults the fault that occurs when the hanging wall moves up
  5. 7. a stress which pushes rock together
  6. 9. Plate the largest major plate tectonic
  7. 12. valley a land form that is created from divergent plate boundary
  8. 13. a stress that occurs when forces are parallel but are moving in opposite directions
  9. 15. the result of plate tectonics slipping and creating movement at fault lines
  10. 19. what plate tectonics are made of
