Across
- 2. this plate boundary is sometimes called a strike-slip fault
- 5. without this ductile zone of earth's mantle the lithosphere would not have something to slide on
- 8. lithospheric crust is created at this type of margin
- 12. new crust forms out of this at divergent plate boundaries
- 13. this is the smallest tectonic plate on earth
- 14. the highest mountains in the world are formed as a result of this type of crust coming together
- 16. these result at transform plate boundaries as a result of crustal plates moving against each other
- 18. the only tectonic plate situated completely in south of the equator
- 19. the youngest rocks on earth can be found here - like the one in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean
- 20. volcanoes can be formed at convergent plate boundaries and above these
Down
- 1. this margin is also called a convergent plate boundary
- 3. this is part of the world's longest (underwater) mountain range
- 4. this is the thinnest portion of the lithosphere - located beneath the ocean's water
- 6. this plate boundary is responsible for mountain building
- 7. the portion of earth made up earth's crust and upper most solid mantle
- 9. this mountain range exists as a result of the Indian Plate subducting underneath the Eurasian Plate
- 10. this plate is subductin underneath the North American Plate
- 11. these type of igneous mountains are caused at convergent plate boundaries
- 15. an example of a transform plate boundary
- 17. sometimes called a ridge -this topographic feature is formed at convergent plate boundaries
