Across
- 3. A curved line of volcanoes that form a parallel to a plate boundary
- 5. Mountain ranges in the middle of the oceans
- 7. Parallel ridges that form where blocks of crust move up or down along faults
- 9. When magnetized objects would reverse direction orient themselves to point geographically south
- 10. Deep underwater troughs created by one plate subducting under another plate at a convergent plate boundary
- 11. continents are in constant motion on the surface of the earth
- 12. When large regions rise vertically with very little deformation
Down
- 1. hypothetical supercontinent that included all current land masses, believed to have been in existence before the continents broke apart during the Triassic and Jurassic Periods
- 2. made up of layers of rocks that are folded
- 4. Magnetic field reverses direction
- 6. Process by which oceanic crust forms along a mid ocean ridge and older oceanic crust moves away from the ridge.
- 8. A state in which magnetic objects will orient themselves to point geographically north
