Across
- 1. Boundaries: Areas where tectonic plates move away from each other, often associated with seafloor spreading.
- 5. Boundaries: Zones where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally.
- 8. Mountains formed by the eruption of molten rock, ash, and gases.
- 9. Boundary: The edge where two tectonic plates meet, influencing geological activity.
- 10. Zones: Areas where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another.
Down
- 2. Sudden shaking or trembling of the Earth's surface, often caused by the movement of tectonic plates.
- 3. Molten rock beneath the Earth's surface.
- 4. Boundaries: Locations where tectonic plates move toward each other, leading to collision or subduction.
- 6. The layer of the Earth between the crust and the core, composed mainly of solid rock. Convection Currents: Circular currents in the Earth's mantle that drive the movement of tectonic plates.
- 7. Preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms.
