Across
  1. 5. Wegner- the person who created the pangea theory
  2. 6. crust- the crust that makes up the land
  3. 8. the theory that all continents drifted apart
  4. 10. Andreas fault- lots of earthquakes happen here
  5. 11. drift- when all the continents separated
  6. 12. convergent boundaries slide together causing a __________
  7. 13. of fire- a ring of volcanos
  8. 15. boundary- where 2 plate boundaries separate and a fault is formed
  9. 16. boundary- when two plate boundaries slide against each other and cause an earthquake
  10. 17. ridge an underwater mountain chain
Down
  1. 1. zone - when one plate boundary slides under another
  2. 2. the solid\liquid stuff that the outer core is made of
  3. 3. the remains of an animal that was alive millions of years ago
  4. 4. current- where heat rises and cold air descends
  5. 7. the upper mantle and crust
  6. 8. boundary- the boundary between two tectonic plates
  7. 9. crust- the crust below the ocean
  8. 11. boundary- when two plate boundaries slide together and form mountains
  9. 14. spreading- when the plate boundary splits apart, causing new seafloor
