Across
- 4. When two tectonic plates move towards each other and collide
- 5. made from Transform boundaries
- 7. Tectonic plates that are at the bottom of the ocean
- 9. happens at a convergent boundary and is when a denser plate is pushed down and beneath a less dense plate
- 11. 1st theory describes the history of Earth’s Surface and said the continents were once connected but have since drifted apart
- 12. Supercontinent incorporated most all of the landmasses on Earth
- 15. solid fragments of weathered rock are eroded (moved) and then dropped into a new place
- 17. made Plate Tectonic Theory
- 18. When two plates slide past each other and makes Fault lines and usually earthquakes
- 19. study of shape of Earth’s surface & it’s physical features
Down
- 1. mechanical or chemical processes that break rocks into smaller pieces
- 2. Seafloor mountain system formed by divergent Oceanic boundaries
- 3. difference (subtract) in elevation between two adjacent contour lines of a topo. map
- 6. thicker line marking every 5th contour line of a map
- 8. Made Continental Drift Theory
- 10. line on a map that connects points with the same elevation
- 12. 2nd theory describes the history of the Earth’s surface and said that the lithosphere is divided into plates that are moving on top of the asthenosphere
- 13. process by which water, ice, wind, and gravity remove and transport sediments
- 14. map showing the shape and elevation of the land surface using contour lines
- 16. When two plates move away from each other; continental and oceanic
