Across
- 2. boundaries The boundary of plate, there are three types
- 4. current currents in earth's mantle and is the cause of plate tectonics
- 6. floor spreading Hess's theory that new sea floor forms when magma is forced up by plates moving apart
- 7. Plastic like layer of the earth than the lithospheric plates float on
- 9. Hess Sea Floor spreading was his theory
- 11. The point after a surface rock reaches its elastic limit and brake
- 13. Drift Wegener's theory that all the continents were once we a part of a supercontinent
- 15. The second layer of the earth, made of lava
- 16. boundary The boundary of plates that are moving away, and then cause lava to flow through the new crack in the earths crust (also know as a constructive boundary)
Down
- 1. Layer of earth's crust that is about 100 km thick, made of the crust and the upper mantle
- 3. boundary The boundary of plates that slide by each other, and causes earthquakes.
- 5. One of two supercontinent that separated from pangaea
- 7. Wegener Continental drift was his theory
- 8. valley A valley between highlands caused by a fault
- 10. A supercontinent that was made of all the continents
- 12. ridge A underwater mountain range that the plates are moving apart and new land is being made
- 13. boundary The boundary of plates that collide (also know as a destructive boundary)
- 14. Time Scale A way to date rock by looking at little bits of iron in the rock and use that and the fact that the earth magnetic field has shifted
