Across
- 3. Plate Boundaries where plates slide past each other causing faults and earthquakes
- 5. Plate Boundaries where plates move towards each other creating mountains, volcanoes, and trenches
- 8. Rocks that form when rocks underground are subjected to intense heat and pressure
- 10. Plate Boundaries where plates move away from each other, creating rifts
- 11. The Upper crust and mantle that is broken up into tectonic plates
Down
- 1. zones where the heavier plate goes underneath the less heavy plate.
- 2. The plasticky layer beneath the lithosphere that moves tectonic plates
- 4. Rocks that form when lava or magma cools
- 6. A major event where plates shift rapidly and release stored energy. Can happen at all plate boundaries, but mostly transform boundaries.
- 7. Rocks that form when sediments compact and are cemented together
- 9. The Theory that all of Earth used to be one big continent
