Across
  1. 7. The mineral and rocky outer layer of the Earth.
  2. 8. Subduction, where tectonic plates are pushed together.
  3. 9. Ferrell cells move moisture to 30-60 degrees lat.
  4. 12. Magma in the mantle moves around and pushes the Earth's tectonic plates.
  5. 13. The hot rock of one of the outer layers of the Earth.
  6. 14. Magma that seeps through tectonic plates.
Down
  1. 1. Spreading, where tectonic plates push away from each other.
  2. 2. Gasses that create air movements that affect the climate, and are stuck to the Earth by gravity.
  3. 3. The metal insides of the Earth.
  4. 4. Hadley cells move warm precipitant air away from the equator.
  5. 5. The act of winds spiraling once they get close to the equator due to the Earth spinning on its axis.
  6. 6. Polar cells move air down to below 60 degrees lat, creating snow in dry areas.
  7. 10. Sliding, where tectonic plates push up against each other's sides.
  8. 11. Magma seeping through plates, that cools to make a volcano or mountain.
