Tectonic Hazards

4. the innermost layers of the earth it's the hottest layer of the earth
5. a fracture or crack in the earths crust where two tectonic plates move past each other
7. a plate boundary where the oceanic and continental plates push towards each other
9. thick, light and buoyant, made of granite
13. molten rock underneath the earth's crust
14. a plate boundary where two tectonic plates move apart

1. where magma erupts through the ground
2. dense,thick and very heavy, made of basalt
3. created at collision zones where two continental crusts collide e.g. the Himalayas
6. Several large slabs of the lithosphere that hold the continents and oceans and are slowly but constantly moving around the earth.
8. the name magma is given when it reaches the surface of the earth
10. 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
11. the name given to the first super-continent
12. the thickest layer of the earth between the outer core and the crust
