Across
- 3. tectonics Earths outer shell is divided into large moving slabs that causes earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains forming
- 5. current slow circular movements of semi-solid rock in the Earth's mantle driven by heat from the core
- 7. The study and description of the physical shape, relief, and surface feature of the earth
- 10. The break down of rocks, soils, and minerals through contact with water, air, and biological organisms
- 11. boundaries the active edges where Earth's tectonic plates meet and interacts
Down
- 1. cycle A continuous process where Earth's materials change over thousands to millions of years between 3 main types: Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
- 2. Mostly solid massive layer of silicate rock in between the outer crust and its molten core
- 4. The ridged rocky layer of the Earth's outer shell
- 6. The solid rocky part of the earth that spans from the surface down to the center of the planet
- 8. A giant continent that brought all of Earth's land masses together in one single piece about 175-335 million years ago
- 9. a fracture or zone of fractures between 2 blocks of rock that allows them to move relative to each other
