Across
- 3. map that shows the shape and elevation of the land surface using contour lines, and shows other land features using symbols
- 5. height above sea level
- 7. portion of earths crust that lies beneath the ocean; it is thinner than continental crust
- 8. formed where two sections of earths crust are colliding
- 9. rocky material that makes up the continents; it is less dense and contains a greater amount of lighter colored materials than oceanic crust
- 11. mountains formed by the bending of rocks
- 12. A boundary between two lithospheric plates that are sliding past each other
- 13. on a map, a line that connects points of equal elevation above sea level
Down
- 1. the process in which one lithospheric plate slides under another; occurs at convergent plate boundaries
- 2. mountains formed when rocks move along faults, leaving blocks of crust at different elevations
- 4. outermost layer of earths surface, which is rocky and solid; includes the crust and the rigid part of the upper mantle
- 6. form where lithospheric plates are moving away from each other
- 10. under sea mountain range that forms where two parts of earths crust are pushing apart
