Across
  1. 5. Rock, basalt under the ocean
  2. 7. Plates that move or pull apart from each other
  3. 8. Thin layer in comparison to other three layers
  4. 9. Cycle of heating, rising, cooling, and sinking
  5. 10. Plates that slide past each other
  6. 12. The crust and upper mantle are combined
  7. 16. Less dense than oceanic crust
  8. 18. Plastic like layer below the lithosphere
  9. 19. When rock breaks and moves along surfaces
  10. 20. They occur when hot magma, solids,and gas erupt onto Earths surface
Down
  1. 1. All land
  2. 2. Portion of the Earths crust that lies beneath ocean waters
  3. 3. A movement of the ground that occurs when rocks inside the Earth break suddenly
  4. 4. Continents have slowly moved to their current locations
  5. 6. Oceanic crust is destroyed
  6. 11. earths surface rising, a large steep hill
  7. 13. Earths crust and upper mantle are broken into sections
  8. 14. Plates that come together or collide
  9. 15. Theory that combined continental drift and seafloor spreading
  10. 17. Largest layer of the Earth
