Across
  1. 3. magnetic striping when the seafloor is spreading and the oceanic crust is aging
  2. 5. plates that slide horizontally past each other
  3. 7. rocks that make up the oceanic crust
  4. 9. helped find enemy submarines
  5. 12. Primary waves
  6. 13. is a liquid because the seismic waves that make up earthquakes
  7. 14. a single super continent
  8. 17. Secondary waves are samples of rocks or volcanic rocks
  9. 18. moving plates over the mantle that are driven by deep heat and convection currents
  10. 20. plates that move toward each other
Down
  1. 1. Any flat areas although many are dotted with volcanic mountains
  2. 2. The hot core warms up the base of the mantle which is called
  3. 4. what is the brittle crust and uppermost mantle called
  4. 6. rise up above the deep seafloor as a long chain of mountains
  5. 8. makes up the continental crust
  6. 10. who came up with the continental theory
  7. 11. when the plates move the continents and slowly drift apart
  8. 15. plates that move away from each other
  9. 16. a device that measures the magnetic field intensity
  10. 19. found at the edges of the continents or in the sea near chains of active volcanoes
