  4. 7. a "mountain range" that rock comes out of from the mantle
  5. 9. the scientist who founded the idea of continental drift
  6. 14. rocks fall into the mantle and are then heated and part of the mantle
  7. 15. rocks closer to the mid ocean ridge are warmer/ cooler

  11. 21. where Earth’s crust diverges on land
Down
  1. 1. breaks in Earth's crust where rocks slipped past each other

  5. 10. one of the types of evidence that Wegener used to prove the continents were together
  6. 11. a rock or animal that was preserved in rock
  7. 12. rocks further from the mid ocean ridge are warmer/ cooler
  8. 13. a boundary when two plates run along each other
  9. 17. an tool that uses sound waves and time to map the ocean floor
