Across
- 7. A fracture in earths crust
- 8. Places where plates slide sideways past each other
- 9. It occurs as tectonic plates are pushed together and the crust becomes shorter and thicker
- 13. When two plates come together
- 15. It can be emitted from the core mantle boundary region to reach the Earth's crust
- 16. When a plate moves slowly across a hot spot
- 17. The liquid shell made up of iron and nickel
- 18. Caused when underground rock suddenly breaks and there is rapid motion along a fault
- 19. Long, narrow depressions on the seafloor that form at the boundary of tectonic plates
- 20. Earth's outermost layer, or lithosphere made up of the crust and upper mantle
Down
- 1. It is part of the upper mantle
- 2. Heat driven cycles that occur in the air, ocean, and mantle
- 3. It creates deep cracks in the crust of the Earth where the two plates split.
- 4. A layer of the interior of the Earth
- 5. The sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate
- 6. When two plates are moving away
- 10. Divergent, convergent, and transform
- 11. It is the solid, outer part of Earth, it includes the upper part of the mantle and the crust.
- 12. It is one produced by the movement of Earth's continental plates
- 14. The most dense shell of the earth
