Plate Tectonics

2. Planets thinnest layer, rocky outer layer from the top part of the lithosphere
6. A thick layer of silicate rock between the crust and the outer core
8. Vibrations that travel through the Earth
11. The point on the Earths surface directly about the focus of an earthquake
15. crust The thick less dense layer of Earth's outer shell
16. Physical field produced by moving electric charges or magnetic materials
19. The theory that Earths continents have moved over geologic time
20. Type of fault where two plates slide horizontally past one another

1. Process by which new oceanic crust is formed at divergent plate boundaries
3. Waves that cause side to side shaking
4. Inner most layer of the planet
5. Transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid
7. The place where two or more tectonic plates meet
8. Process by which one tectonic plate moved under another and sinks into the matle
9. The thick less dense layer of earths outer shell
10. The theory that Earths continents have moved over geologic time
12. The fastest seismic waves originating from earthquakes
13. The process by which a continent is pulled apart, forming a rift
14. Process by which heat is directly transmitted through a substance
17. The thin dense layer of earths surface that lies beneath the oceans
18. Deep, narrow depression in the seafloor
