- 9. The state of matter where matter is less tightly packed than a solid but not gaseous
- 11. A group of islands scattered across a body of water
- 12. The moving of Earth's magma, making tectonic plates too move
- 15. One of the main metals in the Earth's core

Down
- 2. The outer part of the Earth containing the crust and outer mantle
- 4. The innermost layer of the Earth, comprised of mostly iron and nickel
- 5. Deposit of dead plants compressed and heated over the course of millions of years
- 7. Occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is made
- 8. Occurs when two convergent plates collide
- 10. Able to be shaped and molded easily
- 13. At the border of divergent plates, and can occur both on land and under water
- 14. The upper layer of the Earth below the Lithosphere
- 17. Either created by erosion or by subduction
