Down
  1. 1. An equilibrium that causes the displacement of the mantle by Earth's continental and oceanic crust.
  2. 4. It forms when material ejected high into the air falls back to Earth and piles up around the vent.
  3. 5. A mountain with broad, gently sloping sides and a nearly circular base.
  4. 6. A pluton that forms when magma intrudes paralell to layers of rock.
  5. 7. Unusually hot regions of Earth's mantle where high-temperature plumes of mantle material rise toward the surface.
