Across
  1. 1. CONTINENTAL CONVERGENCE An oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate, forming trenches and volcanic arcs.
  2. 4. ZONES Regions where one tectonic plate moves beneath another.
  3. 6. OCEANIC COLLISION Convergence of two oceanic plates forming island arcs and trenches.
  4. 8. ISLAND ARC Curved chains of volcanoes formed above subduction zones.
  5. 9. Deep underwater valleys formed at subduction zones.
  6. 10. RANGE Chains of mountains formed from tectonic plate collision.
  7. 11. BOUNDARY A tectonic boundary where plates move apart.
  8. 13. Landforms that rise prominently above their surroundings, often at convergent boundaries.
Down
  1. 2. Sudden shaking of the ground caused by plate movement.
  2. 3. BOUNDARY A tectonic boundary where plates move toward each other.
  3. 5. Linear zones where Earth’s crust is being pulled apart, typically at divergent boundaries
  4. 7. CONTINENTAL COLLISION Two continental plates collide, forming high mountain ranges.
  5. 12. BOUNDARY A tectonic boundary where plates slide past each other.
