Across
- 5. Theory that pieces of the Earth's lithosphere are in motion,driven by convection currents in the mantle
- 7. Thickest layer of the Earth; it consists of two layers - the lithosphere and the asthenosphere
- 8. A layer of molten iron and nickel that surrounds the inner core of the Earth
- 9. The process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle at a convergent plate boundary
- 12. A plate boundary where two plates grind against each other, moving it different directions
- 13. A deep valley where two plates move apart
- 14. The process by which molten material adds new oceanic crust to the ocean floor
- 15. The layer of rock that forms the Earth's outer surface
Down
- 1. A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other
- 2. The undersea mountain mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced; a divergent plate boundary
- 3. A deep canyon on the ocean floor
- 4. German Scientist who developed the Theory of the Continental Drift in 1912.
- 6. a break or crack in the Earth's lithosphere along which rocks move
- 10. Dense ball of solid material at the center of the Earth
- 11. A plate boundary where two plates move toward each other
