Across
- 4. When the seafloor plunges into underwater canyons, the ocean crust bends downward.
- 7. Breaks in the earth's crust where rocks have slipped past each other.
- 9. Magma reaches the surface.
- 11. Is an area where material from deep within Earth's mantle rises through the crust and melts the crust.
- 13. Where the earth's crust is breaking apart and moving away from the other side.
- 14. When mid ocean ridges continually add new material to the ocean floor as they push it apart. Older crust moves away from either side of the ridge.
- 17. Where plates move apart from one another.
- 18. Measure of how much mass there is in a given volume.
- 19. Heat transfer by the movement of fluid.
- 20. Where plates slide past one another.
Down
- 1. Supercontinent that happened about 300 million years ago where all continents were combined.
- 2. Earth's solid outer shell that is broken into pieces.
- 3. A string of island that form from volcanoes that arise the ocean floor (follows the curve of deep ocean trench.)
- 5. Any trace of an ancient organism that is preserved in rock.
- 6. A mountain that forms in Earth's crust when molten material, or magma reaches the surface.
- 8. The idea that the continents moved slowly over Earth's surface. Hypothesis was made by Wegener.
- 10. Where plates come towards each other.
- 12. A major belt of volcanoes that is around the pacific Ocean.
- 15. Process by which the ocean floor sinks beneath a deep ocean trench and back into the mantle.
- 16. Transfer of heat between materials that are touching.
