Tectonic Hazards

5. molten rock underneath the earth's crust
7. a fracture or crack in the earths crust where two tectonic plates move past each other
8. thick, light and buoyant, made of granite
9. a plate boundary where two tectonic plates move apart
11. created at collision zones where two continental crusts collide e.g. the Himalayas
12. dense,thick and very heavy, made of basalt
14. the name magma is given when it reaches the surface of the earth

1. Several large slabs of the lithosphere that hold the continents and oceans and are slowly but constantly moving around the earth.
2. a plate boundary where the oceanic and continental plates push towards each other
3. where magma erupts through the ground
4. caused when plates slide past each other, friction causes them to get stuck, over time the pressure builds up and eventually they jolt past each other
6. the thickest layer of the earth between the outer core and the crust
10. the name given to the first super-continent
13. the innermost layers of the earth it's the hottest layer of the earth
