Across
  1. 3. A type of plate boundary in which two plates are sliding against each other
  2. 4. The layer below the Asthenosphere, and encompasses the Outer and Inner Core, and is responsible for the Magnetic Field.
  3. 6. The process in which when two plates collide, the more dense plate will sink beneath the other less dense plate.
  4. 7. A large wave of energy in the water released by an earthquake underwater
  5. 11. A vent in which molten rock will erupt from the vent due to pressure from the mantle.
  6. 13. A layer of the crust and small part of the mantle in which tectonic plates are.
  7. 15. A vent in the Earth's crust in which hot water is being erupted due to pressure in the crust.
  8. 17. A type of Plate boundary in which two plates are colliding into each other, causing one to subduct.
  9. 19. The movement of Tectonic Plates on the Athenosphere
Down
  1. 1. molten rock
  2. 2. The innermost layer of the Earth
  3. 5. The energy released from movement of plates sliding against each other.
  4. 8. The largest layer of the Earth, and is mostly liquid with a solid part at the very top.
  5. 9. A hole or opening in the crust
  6. 10. A type of plate boundary in which two plates are spreading apart from each other
  7. 12. The cycle of heated rock in the Mantle.
  8. 14. liquid magma above the surface
  9. 16. The only liquid layer of the Earth
  10. 17. The outermost/thinnest layer of the Earth
  11. 18. A seismic event in which pressure from a magma/steam chamber is being released through a vent
  12. 20. The layer which includes the upper mantle and the lithosphere floats on and is responsible for tectonic plates.
