Across
- 2. A giant wave/waves that can result after an earthquake, like the Japan video clip.
- 6. The crust under the oceans, it is more dense than the continental crust and is mostly made from basalt.
- 7. A liquid layer of the Earth made of nickel and iron.
- 9. A horseshoe shaped area in the Pacific that his home to 75% of active volcanoes and roughly 90% of earthquakes.
- 11. When magma pools in places under the crust and then it erupts you get this.
- 13. The thickest layer of the Earth that the crust floats upon.
- 15. The thinnest outer most layer of the Earth.
- 17. When one part of the crust is denser than another and it goes beneath the less dense one.
- 18. When two plate boundaries move apart from one another.
Down
- 1. When two plate boundaries slide past each other.
- 3. The crust under the land, it is less dense than oceanic crust and is made mostly of granite.
- 4. The theory that explains how the different areas/plates of the Earth move.
- 5. This occurs between divergent boundaries of oceanic crust as the crust is ripped apart and new floor is made.
- 8. When two plate boundaries move towards each other.
- 10. When two pieces of continental crust move towards each other they push up the land and create?
- 12. What magma is called when it is on the surface.
- 14. Energy being released from tectonic activity causing the ground to shake.
- 16. When all of the continents were connected to one another it was know as this "P" word?
- 19. The densest layer of the Earth, believed to be solid iron and nickel.
