Across
- 3. molten rocks and metal lying beneath the lithosphere where volcanoes get their lava.
- 5. the bending of waves as they pass from a medium of one density to a medium of a different density.
- 6. the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
- 7. when the sun has the shortest path through the sky, making the night the longest time out of the year.
- 10. when the sun has the longest path in the sky, making the day the longest out of the year.
- 12. a denser portion of the earth's crust under the ocean.
- 13. a hot dense ball of iron in the middle of the earth.
- 15. Compressional waves that travel through the Earth. These are the fastest waves.
- 16. transverse waves that travel through the Earth. These are slower waves that cannot travel through liquid.
- 17. Seperation of earth into different layers of densities towards the center. (Italian Dressing)
Down
- 1. the boundary between the crust and mantle.
- 2. the time in spiring when the night and day are equal in length.
- 4. waves that travel through the earth or along the earth's surface.
- 8. liquid iron/nickel layer of earth between the inner core and mantle.
- 9. a less dense portion of the earth's crust under the continents.
- 11. extends from earth's interior out into space where it interacts with the solar wind.
- 14. when the night and day are equal in length
