Across
  1. 3. When 2 plates push against each other (can cause the creation of mountains and volcanoes)
  2. 4. Is created at a transform boundary (San Andreas _______).
  3. 6. There are two types. Continental and Oceanic.
  4. 8. Ridge Is created by divergent boundaries and occurs when two OCEANIC PLATES move away from each other.
  5. 10. When 2 plates slide past each other (this boundary created the San Andreas Fault)
Down
  1. 1. When 2 plates move away from each other (they don't occur at continent to oceanic boundaries)
  2. 2. The convection currents in this layer cause tectonic plates to move.
  3. 5. The layer below the lithosphere.
  4. 7. When 2 plates collide and the less dense one is pushed under the other (creates volcanoes)
  5. 9. Occurs at a transform boundary. Its magnitude is recorded on a Richter scale.
