Across
- 3. A boundary that consists of sliding against each other horizontally
- 6. Molten rock (after it reaches surface)
- 7. A massive chunk of the earths crust that are moved by convection currents
- 8. A cycle of liquids where the cold liquid sinks, reheats, and then rises to cool back down.
- 12. Molten rock (below the surface)
- 14. A boundary that consists of pulling away from each other
- 16. The idea that says that all continents are slowly moving back together
- 17. The major circle of volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean
- 18. A mountain that forms when magma reaches the su
- 20. A pocket of magma that forms under the surface to later form a volcano
- 21. A natural event that occurs when two plates collide
- 22. The earth's crust being pushed back into the mantle due to new material forming
- 23. A split in the sea floor that forms between two plates. They push out new material constantly and are the reason sea floor spreading occurs
