Across
  1. 5. The scientist that discovered HOW continental plates were moving.
  2. 9. The process that leads to the formation of rock layers, with the newer layers on top and the older layers further down.
  3. 13. _________ Energy is the energy of heat, caused by particles moving.
  4. 15. Hess’s discovery by using sonar to map the bottom of the ocean.
  5. 19. Can occur at convergent and transform boundaries as plates move past each other, get stuck, and then break free.
  6. 20. _________ plate boundaries where two plates move towards each other
  7. 21. An area of the mantle that is exceptionally hot. Can cause volcanoes to form even if not near a plate boundary.
  8. 25. Formed at divergent boundaries (O-O) where the sea floor spreads apart.
  9. 29. An object that is quick to change temperature, it does not take long for thermal equilibrium to be reached.
  10. 31. An object that is slow to change temperature, both heat transfer and time it takes to reach equilibrium is slow.
  11. 33. Formed in convergent plate boundaries (C-O) where magma rises up through the crust.
  12. 34. Thermal heat transfer by hot air/liquid rising and cold air/liquid sinking. Ex: hot air balloons or boiling water.
  13. 35. Hess’s theory that the continents were moved by convection currents in the asthenosphere.
  14. 36. __________ evidence used to support Wegener’s hypothesis. Continents fit together like puzzle pieces.
Down
  1. 1. Large volcanoes that are ranked an 8 (the highest possible score) on the Volcanic Eruption Index.
  2. 2. The scientist who first proposed the theory that the continents used to be one landform.
  3. 3. __________ evidence used to support Wegener’s hypothesis. Common fossils found across several continents now separated by oceans.
  4. 4. What is reached with two substances exchange heat and become the same temperature.
  5. 6. __________ plates that have the continents on them.
  6. 7. Is how heat is measured.
  7. 8. _________ plate boundaries where two plates move away from each other
  8. 10. Areas that have the same patterns of the layers of sediment, indicating that they were once located in the same area.
  9. 11. __________ evidence used to support Wegener’s hypothesis. Ex: tropical plants once in Antarctica and signs of past glaciers in South America and Africa.
  10. 12. Wegener’s hypothesis that all the continents were once one super continent that then separated apart. Referred to as _______________ theory.
  11. 13. _________ plate boundaries where two plates move past each other in opposite directions
  12. 14. Formed at convergent boundaries (C-C). Also can be referred to as Fold _________.
  13. 16. _________ Energy is the energy of particle motion.
  14. 17. __________ evidence used to support Wegener’s hypothesis.Mountains end at the coastline of one continent and pick up at the coast of another continent.
  15. 18. The supercontinent that existed 200 million years ago.
  16. 22. __________ plates that are located under the ocean.
  17. 23. This happens when two plates collide and the denser of the two plates goes underneath the less dense plate.
  18. 24. Thermal heat transfer by direct contact. Ex: touching a hot stove.
  19. 26. Formed at convergent boundaries (O-O)
  20. 27. Formed when a supervolcano erupts and collapses inward to the chamber where the magma was once stored.
  21. 28. Thermal heat transfer by heat moving through space. Ex: the sun, standing near a fire.
  22. 30. Formed at divergent boundaries (O-O) where magma rises up and cools from the seawater
  23. 32. Formed at a convergent boundary (O-C) where the oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate.
