Across
  1. 1. a theory that proves Alfred Wegners theory of continental drift. Made by Harry Hess
  2. 3. a theory made by Alfred Wegner
  3. 7. the earths crust is split into different parts of these
  4. 11. The way the earth is set up
  5. 13. squeezing stuff
  6. 14. the innermost part in the earths composition and is solid due to immense
  7. 15. Strong lower part of mantle
  8. 16. the biggest part in the earths composition
  9. 17. coming together and folding makes mountains and volcanos
  10. 19. a boundary meaning moving apart
Down
  1. 2. the outer part of the core
  2. 4. it is all San Andreas Fault! A crack in the crust when a transform boundary takes place.
  3. 5. a boundary where the heavier oceanic crust sinks under the lighter continental crust
  4. 6. plates move side by side
  5. 8. the innermost part of earth
  6. 9. this mechanical properity includes the crust and upper mantle
  7. 10. the earth is split into this way(lithosphere asthenosphere mesosphere core)
  8. 12. a theory making fact that the tectonic plates are moving everyday
  9. 14. The outer layer that we live on
  10. 18. soft plastic like layer in the mechanical map of earth
