Across
  1. 2. - a plate boundary where two plates move past each other in opposite directions, e.g. San Andreas Fault
  2. 5. - a break or crack in Earth's lithosphere along which rocks move
  3. 7. - an inclined zone in which many deep earthquakes occur, situated beneath a destructive plate boundary where oceanic crust is being subducted.
  4. 9. - a deep valley along the ocean floor through which oceanic crust slowly sinks toward the mantle
  5. 10. - the soft layer of the mantle on which the lithosphere floats
  6. 13. - undersea mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced
Down
  1. 1. – caused from conservative and divergent margins
  2. 3. - a deep valley that forms where two plates move apart
  3. 4. - process by which molten material adds new oceanic crust to the ocean floor
  4. 6. – a rigid layer made up of the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust
  5. 8. - a plate boundary where two plates move toward each other, e.g. Caribbean Islands; the Himalayas and the Andes
  6. 11. - process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath (under) a deep ocean trench and back into the mantle
  7. 12. - a plate boundary where two plates move away from each other, e.g. Mid-Atlantic ridge and triple junction
