Across
- 5. the wave of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or by an explosion
- 6. where plates slide passed each other
- 9. the majority of the mantle from the core-mantle boundary is solid
- 12. a line of volcanoes above the melting oceanic plate
- 13. outermost layer of earth
- 14. overlies a plastic layer
- 16. where two separate plates are pushing into each other
- 19. it is mountain range of western south american
- 20. point of origin of earthquake
Down
- 1. earth has rigid outer layer
- 2. below the crust lies the dense and extending to a depth of 2900 km
- 3. where two plates are moving apart
- 4. shaking of ground
- 7. they are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at their edges due to friction
- 8. first major discontinuity occurs at a depth of 30-40km below the continents
- 10. continent-continent convergent boundary example in mountain range
- 11. found along divergent plate boundaries
- 12. it lies at the center of the earth it is denser than the mantle
- 15. they rolls along the ground just like a wave rolls across a lake or an ocean
- 17. it is occurs within earth's interior at a depth of about 2900km (1800mi) below the surface
- 18. plates move relative to each other
