Across
- 1. a place in Earth's lithosphere where magma from the mantle can be found
- 5. less dense, and thus rises above cool air
- 8. a transform fault located in California
- 11. the smallest particle size in soil, very low permeability
- 12. occurs in the South Pacific when trade winds weaken
- 13. created by the Earth's spin
- 14. forms under high pressure and heat
Down
- 2. the top horizon of soil, contains humus
- 3. contains the ozone layer
- 4. occurs in the South Pacific when trade winds strengthen
- 6. occurs at mountain ranges bordering large bodies of water and controls how the moisture moves up and down the mountain
- 7. an oceanic circulation pattern that drives mixing of surface water and deep water
- 9. heating effect of increased pressure on air as it sinks toward Earth’s surface and decreases in volume
- 10. currents that flow in clockwise or counterclockwise patterns that redistribute heat in the ocean
- 15. the ability for a surface to reflect sunlight
