Across
  1. 3. - the biggest layer of earths layers
  2. 8. - Consists of Australia, Antarcticaand South America
  3. 9. - The process in which one lithospheric plate collides with and is forced down under another plate and drawn back into the Earth's mantle
  4. 11. - places where plates slide sideways past each other
  5. 13. - The circular motion of liquids or gasses caused by density differences
  6. 15. - The theory that the configuration of Earth's continents was once different than it is today
  7. 17. - Formed when two continental plates collide
  8. 19. - happens in a trench
  9. 20. - the uppermost layer of earth
  10. 21. - created when a divergent boundary happens
Down
  1. 1. - supercontinent that was in form 300 million years ago
  2. 2. - The place where two plates meet.
  3. 4. - German who came up with the plate tectonics theory
  4. 5. isn’t declared a continent but close to a continent much like India
  5. 6. - a layer made of of iron
  6. 7. - boundary between two colliding plates
  7. 10. - boundary between two plates moving away from each other.
  8. 12. - happens in a trench
  9. 14. - North America, Greenland, Europe and Asia
  10. 16. - a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something
  11. 18. - liquid, spans from 7200–9000 degrees
